Hi, friends. There are weeks when I don’t know how to square the relative comfort of my life with all that is going on in the world at large. This has certainly been one of those weeks. A week where I met with my writing group, had dinner with a visiting writer, caught up with friends and laughed and planned for the future. It was also a week I gave midterms to students who can’t be arsed to read a short story or watch an hour’s worth of a documentary and felt as though every minute I spend in class is one that is wasted. A week when I’m watching teachers in the Ukraine taking up arms, mothers making Molotov cocktails in order to defend themselves against the atrocities of war.
