Vibes of the month: Now with less doom!

After spending the first six weeks of the year sick with one respiratory illness after another, I’m back, baby! (And so, so behind. And also still so phlegmy.)

Even after catching the flu within three days of recovering from a gnarly cold, by the grace of god, I have made it through my doom-iest month of the year without much doom at all (lookin’ at you, February!). And that grace is probably climate change, because we have had a brutally warm, dry winter—which has done wonders for my winter-time sadness and is likely going to do the opposite of wonders for the West this summer.

Doom postponement one might say.
