Here is my Live conversation with of The Auntie Bulletin! Nearly 90 of you joined last night which was far more than I was expecting.

No essay this week. I often have periods where I feel things growing, shifting, and changing (often uncomfortably so) and I just need to shut up for a bit. I need to walk in the woods near my house, and sit on the bench in the sun with my cat. I’m currently in one of those moments.

It’s Election Day in the US, which means everybody is waiting in lines and refreshing their newsfeeds all day, looking for things to do in between bouts of freaking out. So I’m gonna keep things light with the quarterly links ‘n’ updates post, a roundup of stuff I’ve been reading for the past few months. We’ve known since Roman times that lead pipes can poison people. So uh...why have we used them for ~2000 years? Have we just been poisoning ourselves all this time?
