Hey hey Incubator friends– it’s March now, so spring feels like something that could actually happen (unless, you know, that real factual thing called Global Warming made February a balmy 60 degree haven, like it did in Pittsburgh).
We hope the extra light and the promise of daffodils will make calling your senators daily a little easier, and that you take heart in your libraries, where cool, creative, and inclusive things are happening. Some of our favorite examples from the past week are linked below, but if you have a story to share, please check out our Call for Submissions and send us a note!
