Hi, I’m Edith, and this is a newsletter with links, personal writing, and comics about my life. I’d love to know what you think; please feel free to reply to this email!
Link: Hyperion (Hyperion Cantos Book One), by Dan Simmons, Amazon
Link: Gift From the Sea, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Amazon
Link: “Subway Encounter”
Link: There, There, by Tommy Orange, Amazon
Also, a request/an experiment! If you have a 50- or 100-word story about meeting someone you admire, I’d love to draw it. Just respond to this email with your story, and I’ll see what I can do (and I’d potentially publish it in a future installment of this newsletter, however you’d like to be attributed).

“The idea that extreme heat can improve mental health isn’t new.” More sauna content, from Outside. And in case you have a backyard, here’s a guide to building a sauna of your own. And here’s a video if you just want to watch someone else doing it. (“Outside we stained the barrel with organic materials: boiled onion skin, coffee, cacao, and some blood from the people who disliked this video.”)
