Our thanks to Mineral School for returning as a sponsor this week. Mineral School is an overnight artist's residency situated in an old elementary school in Mineral, Washington. In the shadow of Mount Rainier, a residency there is amazing two weeks of focus while letting someone else take care of feeding you amazing food. Applications are due soon! Get yours in right away. Find out how on our sponsors page.

This week we have a piece of prose from Mineral School alumni Wendy Call.

It's sponsors like Mineral School that keep original content on our site day after day. They've joined in our campaign to make internet advertising 100 percent less terrible, and we're so grateful that they did.
