Just want to give a shout-out to Jhon Gonzalez! His Latin dance classes on Apple Fitness make me so happy. Each time I do one, I feel like the day, the week (dare I say year) is actually going to be ok. Anyone else a fan of this fun, happy, loving dancing man?

With election day upon us, I wanted to offer hope for a better future by sharing one of my favorite artists, Firelei Báez. Drawing from and destabilizing the past, Baez presents new possibilities for the future. tanajeanwelch.com/news/2024/11/4/firelei-bez-on-imagining-positive-possible-futures

Just finished the absolutely gorgeous Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel. It’s one of those rare books I never want to end. She captured so well so many of my current feelings: on being a mother, apocalyptic thinking, time, and more.
