I haven’t produced a newsletter in a couple of weeks. I’m tired a lot and focusing what little non-family energy I have on stuff that earns money — freelance stuff and the Etsy shop.

Part of it, I suspect, is feeling pretty paralyzed by the state of the world lately. (Clearly, the Lexapro isn’t working anymore. Not that it would help with fascism.) Sucking it up takes a lot more out of me than it used to.

If I were a columnist, I’d probably be sacked. Fortunately, I started the newsletter for funsies, and nobody hired me to do it. But I probably still owe it to subscribers to get something out there, or at least try.

I’ll try to spit out something this week.
