dear club,

The vernal pools are drying and summer is an almost visible wave of heat on the horizon. We come to you today with words and events, featuring a gathering to make Aeolian Harps aka Vulgar Domestic Waste Organs on Sunday may 31st at 12 noon in Marsha P Johnson park. If you can’t attend on account of time and/or space, we invite you to make and install your own wherever and whenever you can using the resources that follow. If this action is a success, we will likely make and install more! I will now hand it over to bianca:

vulgar domestic waste organs

~ the sound of the wind through slits in fossil fuel plastic bottles ~ it’s almost time to set up the plastorgans (wind instruments made out of plastic bottles) - i can’t remember when exactly. If you know, please tell me. i've gathered a few links and guides to get us started. we usually have good luck with wind in gp, but open to doing this anywhere, even indoors where there is zero wind

dear trash club,

been a minute hasn't it... the newsletter had to thaw out to return to your inbox ❄︎ ❄︎ ❄︎

Is it spring we're smelling in the aftermath of these dramatic NYC snowfalls? Or is it the odor of cryogenically youthful street detritus beginning to ferment in a brine of chemical melting agents? Everything is relative, and 36 degrees feels like picnic weather after 5 degrees plus windchill. Either way, something is happening, and crocuses are beginning to push up from between the chip bags and juul pods.

or, the power of Not Doing

dearest trash club,

You may notice some changes in the email this week! I am moving the Dispatch operation to a much more fun newsletter service. i have high hopes! Please lmk what you think.
