June 2025 Updates

[dancingadopteethoughts]

Welcome back! I hope June has treated you well! My updates are below.

• I worked more on my current adoption-related essay. I find it interesting how ocean imagery always seems to come to me when I write these fictional essays.


• I’ve been listening to more Daughters of Ferrix, a Star Wars podcast, and I’ve been enjoying how they bring together culture, history, and politics in an informative and entertaining way.

Thank you for reading my updates! Please feel free to share any adoptee-related writing or podcast recs in the comments! This month, I encourage you to donate to the Sameer Project, a Palestinian initiative working to provide medical aid, supplies, and food in Gaza. Also, please check out ‘Āina Momona, a community organization working toward environmental health, social justice, and Hawaiian sovereignty. Thirdly, Hope Relief and Rehabilitation is a Sudanese organization supporting people with disabilities, particularly in the Nuba Mountains, where famine has been declared. For more resources and organizations to support, please look here.
