Letter from the Editors
It’s the last issue of the semester, and we’re mixing metaphors like water and oil: the Nass’s regular season is over but the playoffs have just begun; it’s high-noon and we’re taking a little siesta, but we’ll be back soon; the curtain is falling on this volume’s first act, a cliff-hanger that leaves your heart…

Letter from the Editor
Dear reader, They say that to be radical is to grasp things by the root. But we’re digging deep, and all we see down here is dinosaur bones, rusty sewage pipes, and clumps of microplastics. We haven’t reached the bottom of things yet, but there’s still time to keep going. We often analogize our…

Letter from the Editors
Dear Reader, We’ll keep this quick. This week, we explore ways of caring – for loved ones, for music, for you, the reader.
