This week I returned from the playa! AKA the Black Rock Desert, home of Black Rock City and the magical yearly event known as Burning Man. This was my first full Burning Man, and my second “burn” of sorts if you include the grassroots-organized Renegade Burn of 2021. I’m feeling, fittingly, burned. As though some …
