Hello all,
Today’s newsletter is sponsored by a friend who chuckled through my last one! And yet, this one starts off unfortunate.
Prose and Poetry of the Week
TW: COVID Deaths
I wrote this back in February. I thought of adding it today because I just had an anti-vaxxer family member contact me. I dedicate this to her.
On a lighter note, I dedicate this to all the shy queers, especially my friend who fairly consistently texts me about her local cute baristas (you know who you are you cuteass bonch). I wrote this for Vocal’s Death by Chocolate Challenge, and I was trying to write what I know. I know baking, and I’m getting to know the magical properties of herbs, so the protagonist is trying to bake a cake that encourages ~romance~.
Rabbitholes
Things I’ve learned, laughed about, and/or obsessed over
- For Women Who Are ‘Difficult’ To Love by Warsan Shire
- This TikTok about my friends – all of you – being powerful enough to be around me
- Book of Delights by Ross Gay! A book of essays that is exactly what it sounds like, and a delight itself.
- This embroidery piece. I stared at it for 10 minutes.
Personal Chisme
chisme = gossip
- Honestly? Not much I can say since last week. A couple of things are in the process that will hopefully work out, but I don’t like to talk about things until they are set.
- I’m thinking of a new series to be a long-form project, as inspired by one of the Rabbitholes above…
A short and sweet one today! Hope you enjoyed ❤ If you would like to see past ones, please go to my blog – Colochos De Flores.
Abrazos and/or high-fives,
Ariana
