I love your newsletters but just had to comment on this one in particular because it hit me like a bass note in my gut. I have home (London, Plague Island) and home-home (Lilongwe, Malawi) which is where my family is. It's bittersweet and so much more I can't really find the words for, but this made me feel seen, exhale a little. Thank you! Get well soon Bim. Xx
"Like many or most of us, I am a more tentative person now. But I am still hoping for small, quiet victories in 2022. I hope I continue to make good work. I hope I get stronger and healthier. I hope to be a better friend and person. I’d like to fall in love."
I forget how much I like reading these sporadic mails until I’ve finished one. Much love to you Bim. I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you, Belinda. Happy new year!
Thank you.
(To think that once upon a time, Yoruba Girl Dancing served us a regular helping of Bim....)
Thank you. You are missed. But thank you.
Wow, OG reader! Thank *you* for this comment.

Bass notes in the gut, man..! Thanks for replying, I'm glad to have given a little relief. To more exhalations in 2022. 🥂
The way this part hit so perfectly...
