international folks, as always it might take a little longer, but it's coming! and hopefully faster this time with our EU printer.

this issue took 4.5 months to complete -- FAR too long, thanks to a myriad of health issues that cropped up at once and repeatedly. i'm so grateful for y'all's patience and kindness. <3

@xandra great write-up, I'm impressed that you're doing both letter and A4 versions, that is really a lot of work.

The first issue was beautiful, this is a great reminder to order the second one!

@gatesvp thank you! the only thing that makes me sad about the A4 is that it won’t match in size with the spring issue. :(

thank you for the kind words 🩷🩷

@xandra I have ideas for a zine but don't know what I don't know. Your post is illuminating so I'm not interested in driving myself crazy doing quarterly runs. Annual/semi-annual sounds good to me!

@xandra I was stupid and didn't order a print version. Can you say if there'll be an opportunity to order a print version later? It's totally ok if there won't be!! It's my own fault.

@theresmiling yes! once i have confirmation this batch of orders is being received (since it’s my first time using the printer to mail it), i’ll be setting up another print run!

@xandra Excellent! I'll keep my eyes peeled then.
