Supper Club Scrapbook: February 2026
Welcome to this month’s Supper Club Scrapbook! In the Supper Club Discord, we share what we’re working on, what we’re excited about, and how we’re showing up for our neighbors. Every month, I’ll be sharing a little cross-section of what our community is up to.
The Supper Club Discord has built some great momentum this month. We’ve been sharing tons of recipes, community support resources, crafts, big feelings about the world, and complex reactions to the ways things are changing around us. (You can join the discord by signing up for the Supper Club here!)
This month, I’ve mostly been immersed in wedding planning and writing [redacted project that I’m SO excited to share with you when I’m allowed]. The discord has been a really welcome refuge from the stress of everything that needs to get done. One axis of relief is the #aid-advocacy-resources channel, where we help each other plug into the work of making the world a better place. One notable resource that was shared this month is the Minnesota Rent Fund roundup! Descriptive language below is directly from Stand With Minnesota:
Because of the crisis in Minnesota, families who were stable just weeks ago are staring at eviction notices. To address this crisis, STAND WITH MINNESOTA has launched a campaign focused solely on paying March rent for the most vulnerable families. Can you afford to give $500-3000? Sign up to adopt a family’s rent. A single month covered can prevent eviction, keep a family housed, and save thousands in downstream public costs that come when people are forced into shelters or onto waiting lists that are already full. Your contribution doesn’t go into a bureaucracy — it goes straight toward keeping a Minnesota family in their home.
Whether you can give $5 or $500,000, every dollar helps. Stand With Minnesota has curated a list of rent funds they know are moving money quickly out the door.
And now, the scrapbook!

CW text contains mentions of pet death, grief, Minneapolis My dog died just over a week ago in sad circumstances. I've been painting a lot of little meditations to try to hold the complexity of the grief and loss of my best friend and constant companion while my neighborhood and city convulses with the fear and pain of the federal occupation. Feeling more than ever that art is what gets us through.

Our mall went all out for the Lunar New Year. 15-foot-tall dragon and a beautiful horse that, as far as I can tell, is made out of paper???

I started an arts & crafts group with some neighbors last year. We meet every other Saturday and it’s been so nice to build community where I live. We range in age from 29 to 82. Today we celebrated a birthday and I made the carrot cake. And this is a WIP Boletus igniarius after a John Wilkes illustration I’ve been working on (pen and colored pencils).

Pet Spotlight: Bento
He is not a dog. He is, in fact, a big bean. The largest legume.
