Hi friends! I am short on time and long on plans this week.

Newest EEDA Pod: Permission to Not Have It Together: A Practical Guide to Overwhelm

In this episode of Enthusiastic Encouragement and Dubious Advice, Patricia and Nicole discuss strategies for managing personal overwhelm. The episode also includes library accessibility updates, and the not infrequent segment talking about recent books they’ve read.

You can find our show, Enthusiastic Encouragement & Dubious Advice on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, and wherever else you get your podcasts. You can also support the show on Patreon, where we have some perks for paid subscribers with even more coming this year. You can also just make a recurring donation through subscribing to our Patreon, as our show is independently run and without ads. It helps keep us going!

Reminder that over on the EEDA Patreon, we do weekly accountability check-ins and quarterly goal check-ins for paid subscribers. Subscriptions start at $3!

Here’s what I’ve harvested for you this week:

Resource 1: 10+ newsletters on accessibility and inclusion worth subscribing to in 2026

I can only vouch for Conscious Style Guide, as that’s the one on this list that I subscribe to so far (and where I got this link). But some of these look pretty great!

I am a huge proponent of play and I’m shocked I hadn’t shared this piece here until now.
