Dear Suki.
I’m listening. Mostly.
Big ears. Selective hearing. Strong opinions.
Tell me about the group chat. The person who’s never ready. Your inability to leave a party. I’ve never understood a group chat, but I do understand wanting everyone to calm down and go outside.

A selection of entirely human problems. I have done what I can.
Dear Suki
My partner says ‘in a minute.’ Which minute?
A human minute may contain a missing wallet, one email, and a conversation with the fridge.
