hi! Happy the-days-are-dark-in-the-northern-hemisphere season! Which I say flippantly, but I totally understand why we all celebrate those times.So I'm clearly behind on everything, and my excuse is the generic "I pretty much don't interact with humans and maintaining my mental health takes a huge chunk of my energy." BUT I do  have projects I'm excited about that I'll be sharing with you all soon.For one thing, I finally have a Plan about how to get back on track with the monthly zines. I just didn't do much fiction writing this year, which is funny because I assumed I would do so much of it in isolation. But it just didn't happen. I wonder if my fiction writing comes more from social interaction than I realized. Instead, I wrote a lot of Weird Shit. Like the art and the void essay I put out a couple months back. I've got more of that. And fuck it, I'll make it into zines and show it to you, as part of a larger project I'm working on called A Black Triangle In A Green Forest. Yeah, it's self-indulgent as hell, but like I said: I've been pretty isolated.The other thing is my podcast Live Like the World is Dying is chugging along, after a 2 week break I took, I've got the next 6-7 guests all lined up and scheduled and there's some amazing shit coming up. This friday will be a conversation with Walidah Imarisha about imagining the future. I've also got conversations on infosec, security culture, winter gardening, and physical fitness that'll be out soon.Oh, and bandannas. I haven't gotten the pricing figured out just yet, but you all will be at least getting a discount, and anyone over a certain pledge level (that I don't know yet because they haven't been priced yet) will get a free Live Like the World is Dying bandanna in the mail, designed by Robin Savage who did the logo and hand printed by Suzanne from Inky Tentacles.And this tabletop RPG!!! I've started running playtests, and will be uploading a new draft version for everyone soon that will be more playable than the last one. I'm very excited about that project. Jack from Alsarath and Robin from she-did-my-logo are on board helping out with that project so it's really starting to go places.And the Feminazgûl split with Awenden is in the works. We've got the basics of our songs figured out, we just need to record vocals and get them mastered.I hope wherever you are, you're doing as well as you can (or maybe doing amazingly!) and, as always, thank you from the bottom of my strange little heart.
