Show Notes

Show notes:

Hey, everyone.

Look, it’s been a really sad week, especially in Minnesota, where I live. I just wanted to explain why I’m not making much of an intro this week.

If you’re listening to an archive of this show, it’s early July 2016, and just somehow this week doesn’t feel right to talk about anything else as if it’s important. and nobody really quite knows what to do with all this anger and outrage or how we’re all going to move forward together.

I live in Minneapolis, just a few minutes from where Philando Castile was pulled over and shot to death by a police officer in front of a four-year-old child and denied medical attention. Nobody really quite knows what to do with all this outrage and how we’re going to move forward together, but we need to start taking better care of each other. We need to start seeing each other.

There’s so much we can learn from each other and share and experience if we’re not busy being afraid and focus on what we all have in common: being with the people we love, enjoying delicious food, talking about our day, and sharing our hopes and our fears, telling our stories. Let’s keep reminding each other to treat the things we don’t understand as opportunities to learn.

OK, so that’s my announcement. I suppose this week’s artwork is pretty on message too: it’s a map of the galaxy with our little tiny place in it called out with a little “you are here” thing. It’s actually only incrementally related to the chapter, but it turns out it has everything to do with everything, so it’s totally cool that my artist Emily picked that out as the thing she wanted to draw. This is what I love about working with her, and I hope you guys have had a chance to check out the artwork at ascraeuspress.com. I’ll also leave you a link in the show notes at nodragonspress.com/podcast.

Well, I think that’s it from me! Thanks for sticking with me and I really hope you enjoy Chapter Four: Addie Considers the Multiverse.

Hey everyone, thanks for listening! You’ve just heard Chapter Four: Addie Considers the Multiverse. Tune in next week, and in the meantime, be good to yourselves, be good to each other. Take care.
