Hey friends,

It's obnoxious critter season, when the little vermin of the forest scamper around digging up roots and stuffing their cheeks before the harsh winter hits.

Maybe you’ve noticed some of those nibblers are coming for you.

Have you been getting voluntold to 'chip in' a bit more at work, at school, or wherever?

Noticing a fresh infestation of trolls in your comments?

What about that dreaded inbox, where nibblers who feel entitled to your energy sneak in to poke and prod and steal the last fucks you have to give.

I mean - you're always so helpful so I bet you'd like to help more!

Sucks the life right out of you.

As a community caregiver, if you're feeling a scootch more nibbled-on than usual, please take this reminder that you don't owe anyone (except your kids) your time and attention.

You'll be giving a lot this season. So here's a helpful cornucopia of things I've made to nourish you while you fight off hundreds of creatures large and small nip-nip-nipping at your ankles.

'Cause I like you and I want your life to be easier!
