Hi!

Sorry I’m late. Things got derailed when I got laid off at the start of the month, lmfao! Decided to extend my creative vacation into a longer vacation from everything, in general. What a start to the year.

I’m doing fine overall, thankfully. Especially because I haven’t gone longer than three weeks not working since…I started working? So like 12 or 13 years? I’m gonna slow down for a little bit before I ramp the job search up.

This whole debacle did delay that creative project I was working on, unfortunately, but I’m hoping to pick back up soon. In the meantime, I haven’t stopped writing and collecting interesting stuff. So much so, in fact, that this issue is going to be focused on all the written stuff, and next issue will be all the interesting stuff.

All that being said, there’s so much stuff that I’ve written that I’m going to just post the bundled links to save my precious writer fingies the pain of transferring it all over here. I promise it’s all good. :D

Here we go!

Status Update

Feels good to be back! More importantly, feels good to be creative again after crashing post-layoff. We should be proceeding apace from now on, other than celebrating Eid.
