Attention is the beginning of devotion.
Pocket Observatory is not-for-profit project offered to you for free through a Creative Commons license. The continuation of this work depends on donations from people like you.
A few examples of how your donations help me work: $3 buys me a pen! $25 buys me paper for a month! $90 buys me three hours of childcare!
Hi, I'm Meg Conley
I am a researcher, writer, and caretaker. I create Pocket Observatory, a not-for-profit attention reclamation project. My work appears in places like Harper's Bazaar, The Guardian, BBC and NPR. Currently, a lot of my observations are written from bed as I navigate treatment for triple-negative breast cancer.
