October 2025 Updates

Welcome, everyone! I hope you had a great October! My updates are below.

• I worked more on that fictional essay I’ve been talking about for a little while now. It’s been fun seeing the turns it’s been taking.

• I also read more of Adeeb Khalid’s Central Asia, and it’s been interesting reading about the Russian Revolution from the perspective of Central Asians.

Thank you for stopping by! Please feel welcome to leave your adoptee writing updates and any history book recs in the comments! This month, I encourage you to support The Needle of Hope, which raises money for Omar to tailor clothes for children in Gaza, the Sudan Solidarity Collective, which is raising money to support food distribution in El Fashir, and the Ohketeau Cultural Center, which is a Native-led cultural center that supports Indigenous people in Central and Western Massachusetts.
