Aloha, prose posse, I feel like this newsletter is often one of a few types: “hey, there’s a new book, you should buy it” “hey, there’s an event coming up, you should come to it” [rage against the book machine] But today I believe a different theme is bubbling to the surface, and that is a sense of individual futility because of my spatiotemporal inability to be more than one person
The work you do is wonderful, as is the care you put in. I hear you very much on how frustrating it is to be only one person with one set of eyes and arms instead of a multi-appendaged Hindu deity. (The fantasy I devote most of my current brain space to is thinking about what life would be like if I had clones and what the ideal number of them would be).
I suggest the formation of Mutually Supportive Cooperative Against DoomScrolling.

A little more self-care needed, Angel
