I don’t write or edit our newsletters, so I get to read ‘em for the first time with all of you, and this one hit me in a very specific way.

I needed this reminder. To be reminded of the work we did, why we did it, and how proud I felt. It’s a healing reminder. Thank you, @awkwardcomma.bsky.social.

I just think these covers are neat. More Visions is always good, and dig the “A Romance Novel” tag one Eyes Like Stars. Fun way to differentiate and make clear they’re trying some new stuff.

Pachimon Wars was one of the highlights of the Star Wars portion of our trip to Japan. Delightful bar that celebrates everything we love about Star Wars. And the people were amazing.

Do yourself a favor and check it out if you can! Can't wait to go back.
