First of all, an apology. When I first fired up this space over a year ago my intention certainly was not to abandon it after three short posts. Not in the least. But, a lot of life happened. There was the most ridiculous of foot injuries that required surgery to repair and laid me out for a year and has permanently changed my relationship with running. I reached a peak of professional burnout so intense that one consultant told me it could require six full months to recover. My oldest moved out into his first apartment. I barely even did any real cooking! There’s more but you get the idea. The topline is that despite my best intentions I had no bandwidth.
Guess what, friends. That’s changed. I’m back. There’s so much to write about from the wild forces of pronatalism showing up literally everywhere, to Supreme Court lawlessness, to finding space for advocacy as a whole-ass person that doesn’t entirely burn you up and out (okay maybe that last one is mostly for me). But you get the idea.
For those that hung around all this time. Thank you. It’ll be worth it.
Welcome back!
