A dog emerged out of this doodle. I am always fascinated by our dog and wonder what he is thinking and dreaming about. Is he bored to be a dog? Does he wish he could do other things like literary criticism and sad we don't ask? Or is he just happy as a dog who gets to eat and go for walks? Joel teases me for caring about this, but it comes to me over and over, the same questions with the cats.

Sometimes I feel that witigo inside me very keenly. Always grasping and hungry.
On another note, I found this Muskrat list of indigenous children's books interesting.
I found a new to me designer "Twindian Designs"
Finally, with a trigger warning, I can't get this article about a murdered trans-woman out of my head. I don't even have words. There is so much to be done. I am heartened to see the contributions of others, through sharing their stories and ideas. Thanks to those who contribute to the circle.
