a short note.

+ Sinners, AI, birds, & many more links/recs <3

“& the lilacs drink the water/marking the slow, slow, slow passing of time…”

Dear friends, 

Classes have ended but work has not. I am still wrapping up end-of-the-school-year responsibilities. Normally my body crashes into some kind of sickness after a semester ends—either straight after classes, or when things are done for real. It’s decided to hit me right before the finish line this time. I went to workout class this morning and within an hour of getting home I was shaking and feverish. I feel like crap, but I really honor my body for knowing when it has to putter out to get a real break. I’m writing from my couch and plan to stay here as long as it takes to feel better…. 

So, a short note today. But so much fun below! Many good article and podcast recs (stuff that made me cry (about class loneliness)! Stuff that made me laugh (about birds)! Stuff that made me think (about AI)!). My capsule review of Sinners with many links for further reading/listening! & more more more (*neon girls girls girls sign energy*)! 

I’m really excited to get back to the newsletter with so much more energy in June. I have plans, and a lot of heart to give it/you all. <3 I love you.

love & solidarity,

raechel 

QUICK REMINDER 

There are still spots available for Alt-Ac Summer Session. If you are feeling a sticky relationship to academia, this group is the place to be. You are more than a PhD (and that’s a good thing)!
