Hello gamers. My brain has been completely fried because my healthcare is on the fritz and I haven't gotten refills on my ADHD or anxiety medication.

This is important to note because, whilst the upside is that I've actually written a TON lately, I have absolutely zero energy to make that writing, or this newsletter, presentable in any capacity. SO I'm just gonna rapid-fire these links with some one-liner descriptions and call it a day.

Sorry if that's a bit too TMI and hopefully the next letter will be less brutalist in its design, lol. Thank you for reading. :)

Status Update

Thanks y'all. Only real updates are:

1. Gonna be in New York for quite a while, but I do think I'll be updating the newsletter now and again while I'm there.

2. I got sick of backloggd for reasons not worth elaborating on here, so I moved over to Infinite Backlog and am enjoying it quite a bit more. Friend me if you're on there.

That's all, time to vegetate on the couch and binge the new Love is Blind UK season before we record this week's podcast episode.
