Dearest gentle readers,
Please excuse my absence. I’ve been crawling my way out of a depression/overwhelm hole. And yes, I 100% understand that’s not a thing you’re supposed to publicly admit to thousands of people, but if you’ve subscribed for any length of time, you already know we are fans of honesty around here, especially when it comes to mental health and grief and burnout and all the other assorted messiness that comes along with being human.
You know, all the stuff you’re supposed to shove in a box/under the rug because propriety and society say so. 🥊 Mom’s column does a much better job explaining things than I could, so give it a read if you’d like.
And if you’re new here, welcome! Please don’t run away just yet. We also have sunshine and rainbows PLUS plenty of community news for you!

Ok, we’ve got a lot to get to. Get ready to scrolllllllll …

🥕🍅 Have you ever wondered what vegetable you are? No? Well, there’s a quiz for it anyway.
Mom sent this to me last week and I was like ok, uh huh, sure, but then it was FREAKISHLY ACCURATE so I’m sharing it with y’all. For science!

Don’t forget to be kind to yourself. ✌️
Until next time,
Caitlin
