Hi there. I hope you are safe where you are. I hope you can access cold air when you need it and can move through the world as you need to. I wasn’t planning on making an update this week, but given the intensity of the landscape of life in the U.S. and middle east right now, I am offering a basic, political-news-only full episode.

FULL EPISODE

The grief of the world is big. I hope you can hold it with a friend or a tree or a giant, ancient body of water. I hope to be back with you on July 9th.

Until next time. Be well.
