FYI there’s a little update on Patreon (but free to read) explaining whether I’m dead or not (spoiler alert: no), why the podcast slowed down, and what to expect going forward (spoiler alert: stuff)

More personal than I normally like to get but it’s been a wild year and it felt right to share.

Did you know that if you sign up to Daffadillies+ on Apple Podcasts, you can hear bonus episodes and get episodes early, like these two stories available now? No, you didn’t. You don’t know ANYTHING

This episode didn’t even begin to get to the bottom of it and it’s obvious these asses are going to stretch this crap out to ten episodes. Podcasters: learn to stream line. Long series only hurt the natural flow of the story you’re in.

Write an introductory post for Bluesky telling people about the company and how glad we are to join the new app and make it funny but in a relatable and ironic end stage capitalism way not in a “hi pals it’s your friend McDonalds” kinda way
