I’ve been busy preparing to move to Cambodia and getting set up for a month of writing. As I’ve written before, I really won’t be back to blogging until July.
Most of the notes I’ve received during my downtime have been about whiteness and white privilege. I’m working through my archives to produce a post with links to past posts and highlights of what I’ve...
