In my first newsletter post on TinyLetter I wrote “Believe in the dignity of ghosts.”

RIP Tiny Letter and QDEP to our ghosts; the righteous and holy dead who are not dead, who are always with us, and who live, these days, on our hard drive and mobile device archives. The #landofwomen* is so precious to me. I cannot worship there enough.

This 6-week summer community offering, I return to my hard archive of photos and materials, not with any special intention or purpose in mind, but with some hope that there is a photo here or there that will jog a memory, a reflection on history, or a poem about the past.

Maybe you’ll share some of your letters for—or photos of—ghosts too. The chat will be open,

Rambling around in my brain and letting whatever comes to mind slide into your email inbox starting July 7, 2026.

*Coffee and groceries crew, you can take a trip down memory lane by looking for #landofwomen posts in the archive.
