All right, loves.

I meant to post this yesterday, but I think the extra time to let it all percolate was useful.

Here, I talk about volunteering in , challenges for industry practice, and the importance of balancing everything we do within our literary communities with the broader work of Being Human - work that sometimes requires us to remember there's still a lot of privilege packed into even the most stressful crises in industry we might face.

@MLClark Such a wonderful article, especially the section about your encounters with street people. I'm all for character studies, ones that can be an inspirtation for fictional characters. Medellin has them in abundance.

@WordsmithFL

Thanks for sitting with it, Stephen!

I think most places have their characters, but not everyone gets the same *collisions* between worlds where they live - and that can make all the difference!
