Hi, friends. Hope you’ve taken some time to relax and recharge or that you’ve got some time scheduled soon for this very thing. There were so many unusual sights on my vacation. So many animals to watch in all of their wildness. Bears and bison and wolves and moose. Spots where you could peer up and see the nightsky in all of its vastness without any lights nearby. And there was very little cell service. I’ll be honest. It was nice, for a minute, not knowing the specific ways the world is falling apart. But one afternoon, I happened upon a hot spot. It was cool and I sat on a rock sunning myself like a lizard, watching people eat ice cream, watching ravens try and steal crumbs, checking the twitterverse. The Pulitzers had just been announced. Someone that I studied with, who I admire a lot, had won one.
Great newsletter, Marsha! So many helpful tips, including Rachel Yoder’s Twitter thread. Thank you!
