Time to Land

On recovery and recuperation

Hullo my lovely readers

With thanks for your generous responses about last week’s letter, in which I shared that I was taking time to spend with my family, this week I’m sharing that I’m taking time to land. Literally, having recently successfully made it through a flight (a physical privilege I’ll never take for granted, as well as acknowledging its environmental impact). Figuratively too, though, because that flight being followed by a number of work commitments (another privilege and a true joy) now means that my brain and body are insisting I need to take a moment to regroup before – at last! – resuming the rhythm of this newsletter’s raison d’être and actually writing about culture from my perspective as a queer and trans crip again.

So, whilst I do that, here is a drawing I’ve done on the virtual blank canvas of Weave Silk.

Thanks so much for reading, and love and solidarity until next week,

Image description: A drawing done by Jessi on WeaveSilk.com. On a black backround, in the centre of the frame, is a spiralling star-like design in blue light. It is similar to a kaleidoscope but also evokes the spokes of a wheel. Around the edge are streaks of purple light emanating outwards.
