How the email found me
"I hope this email finds you well..."
how the email found me:
I hope you're doing better than this unfortunate doll torso I saw on my daily walk yesterday. That seems achievable, right? Maybe? Anyway! A quick update from the other side of my migration off substack, and (much more important) two doses of the coronavirus vaccine:
Life on Mars?!
I'm doing a live chat and Q&A tomorrow evening, Friday 4/16, at 6pm CT on my Patreon! We'll be talking about life on Mars-- was it there, IS it there? What do we know, and what mysteries remain to be untangled? (spoiler: many mysteries. lots). This event will be available to all supporters, and you can join for as little as $3.
Talking with friends and fam about vaccines
I'm hearing from a lot of people that they are worried that they or their friends or family feel hesitant to get vaccinated, and that they feel unsure how to address it. I am not a medical doctor, but I have experience talking with folks about difficult things both as a science communicator, and an organizer. I'm working on a video guide to talking with people abt difficult stuff, centered on vaccinations, and I would love to hear what challenges you are facing! If you feel like sharing a question or comment, please do so here. This video will be free and publicly shareable when completed.
Plants Not Cops
As some of you may know, I work with the mutual aid commitee as part of Defund CPD. While the campaign is still in its winter hibernation, we've been gathering all winter, and have some exciting workshops planned around abolitionist growing and food sovereignty, community mental health, and more! If you'd like to join the first one, we'll be providing an introduction to Seed Starting and Container Gardening on Thursday April 22nd at 6pm CT at bit.ly/PlantsNotCops
That's all for now!
