Update: October 19, 2021

Hi all,

This is a very short Update. I’m exhausted and not in the best space but also finally at a point where I know what I need to do to move on.

If you’re on my listserv, you’ll continue to get these updates every fortnight (the next one is November 2). If you’d like to get these regularly, email me and I’ll get you on the list.

I took a few days off, and it was refreshing. I also realise I’m not going to get much work done without taking time off from social media for at least a fortnight. I don’t dislike social media, at all, but it is sapping my energy at a point where I have four major projects to get off the ground, two overdue articles, a new one that will require a fair amount of research and planning, and a few hundred projects that I need to organise.

I won’t be on Facebook or Twitter as much (no Daily Posts from the archive for a bit, at least on FB: I may still schedule them on Twitter since one can over there). Of course, I’ll still be available on email. And I can still be found on Instagram.

See you on the 26th.

Here’s what I’ve been up to.

WRITING

“Losing Eve: Is That All There Is?”

PODCASTS

I was on The Nostalgia Trap, talking to David Parsons about grief, in two parts.

Here’s Part One of a conversation on the Exploding Appendix podcast.
