Ask The Community!
An untitled photo collage from the Itallian photographer fontanesi, whose often quite funny pairings of two photos taken by the artist are juxtiposed just right. (Photo collage in which the top half of the image is a man with his body submerged in water, and the bottom half is a man walking in the street, so it looks as though the man is walking through water that begins around shoulder-level.)

This newsletter is a reader-supported publication. Paid subscriptions allow our tiny team to keep doing this work. If you want in to the House of Study but paying isn't on for you right now, reach out and we'll hook you up, no questions asked.

It's time again: We have the extraordinary privilege of being in a community with a ton of other insightful, thoughtful people who also engage deeply with hard questions about the stuff that matters–

whether ethics, justice, spirituality, religion, how best to try to love one another down here, and/or just the messy stuff of being a person.

Ask the Community posts are a special time for folks to connect in an unstructured way– to get the advice you'd been looking for and to just get to know one another. And to share your recommendations of books, movies, podcasts, other media, whatever else—as always, the floor is yours.

(But here, have some cool collage art, too.)

(BTW, I know the contrasts on these emails/the site are not yet WCAG across the board– will have this fixed soon, I hope.)
