Hey dear ones,

It’s time for another segment of Replacements. How are you doing with the doom scrolling?

I gave it up for Lent, and so this month I actually have a few things to offer your way. For me personally, it’s been a month (year) of turmoil and tragedy. This month’s replacements are where I am finding encouragement, accompaniment, and hope. Some are typical Alyssa (poems, etc.), some are surprises (rap??), some found me just at the right moment (Buechner!)

What doom-scroll replacements are carrying you through these almost-spring days? Let’s resist together!
