Announcement: Fallow Period Required
Greetings, darling Dames Nationals!
How our brains have felt for the last… six to eight weeks? At least?
We’re taking the next five weeks from regular Friday newsletters. There may be special missives, if we feel called to write, but our goal is to let our brains lie fallow for a minute. When quarantine first hit our homes on the East Coast, we revved up the ol’ content machine in response. There was so much misery we could not fix, but deepening the digital community we had here felt like one way we were uniquely equipped to help. Unfortunately, that spate of writing was sprint behavior and we’ve found ourselves in a marathon situation, so we’ve been pretty depleted in its wake and need to recalibrate. Ergo: we’re taking a hiatus from now until October— partly to catch our breath, partly to get some long neglected behind-the-scenes Dameswork finished. When we return, we hope to be both fresh for the fight and supported by the sturdy infrastructure needed to keep the newsletter running on time.
Thank you for understanding! You can still find us on Twitter (whether jointly or as individuals) or in our inbox, where we always love to hear from you. See you on October 2, when we’ll be celebrating this newsletter’s sixth birthday!
