gosh, Garrett, one amazing clause and sentence after another. I want to shout out this one: “...that we are teaching those be-cabined children to love the land but also to write mossy, complicated prose about gender and wind.” that brought me joy. one of your many pieces that makes me wish I participated in Facebook so I could share it with all my “friends,” but then, of course, it would appear beside a 30 second soul destroyer--the rub. oh, prayers for more community potlucks, for more community crankie projects, for finding kinds of care we can share. thank you for everything you are up to, and come round sometime for a pancake lesson 😉.

I'm new here. Love this! Have you come across the book Elite Capture, out this past May by Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò? I feel like the constructive politic in that book might be a balm and aid (or extension) of where you're scratching here, on what we do after the news gets dour.

Thank you for your work and your writing and for modeling your commitment with so much love, care, and humanity.
