<p>Today’s student writing is a poem is by Justin, a student at our workshop site with the Skagit County Community Justice Center (our county’s jail for adult women and men).</p><br><p><strong>Some items mentioned in—or aligned with—today’s episode + Announcements:</strong></p><br><p>1.&nbsp;The long quote about the subject of time in today’s episode was from the <em>Life Wisdom</em> podcast episode, “<a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0hVHZBU3sbIVHoj9bHGEzA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Everything Has Its Timing</a>.”</p><br><p>2. What a year already—seemingly unending wars, a divided country teetering on the precipice, and deep funding and staff cuts in the Arts sector— and this is at both the national and local levels.&nbsp;As a community arts nonprofit that depends on grants and individual donations for our survival, we need your support now as much as ever.&nbsp;We’d be honored if you’d keep us in mind as you plan for your advocacy and charitable giving: <a href="https://undergroundwriting.org/donate" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://undergroundwriting.org/donate</a></p><br><p>3. We regularly hear from folks asking how they can be involved with—or help out—Underground Writing.&nbsp;We’re grateful for the interest.&nbsp;Please check out our “Get Involved” page on our website: <a href="https://undergroundwriting.org/get-involved" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://undergroundwriting.org/get-involved</a>&nbsp;Also, to highlight a few inroads for getting involved:&nbsp;1) If you live locally, consider joining us for our once-a-month re/vision volunteer day (<a href="https://undergroundwriting.org/revision" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://undergroundwriting.org/revision</a>),&nbsp;2) Spread the word about our <em>Letters to a Young Inmate </em>initiative (<a href="https://undergroundwriting.org/letters-to-a-young-inmate" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://undergroundwriting.org/letters-to-a-young-inmate</a>), and&nbsp;3) Consider partnering with us by becoming a patron-donor – we’re only able to do our work because of our individual donors and grant partners . . . and we are always in need of these donor-partnerships so that we can continue our work (<a href="https://undergroundwriting.org/donate" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://undergroundwriting.org/donate</a>).</p><br><p>---</p><br><p>We’re repeating ourselves, but it’s good to say again . . .
