In part because of health challenges and in part because of all of the immense losses of the past year, I'm finding it so difficult to care about CONvergence #CVG2026 volunteering this year. But I made myself do some stuff this month. (Context: virtually all of my volunteering happens outside of the actual convention itself.)
