hahah, an understatement. Versions of this for years and years. Time is a flat circle.
But really, it probably could have been a quarter of the length or broken up into little pieces for each part of the overall structure. It's just now how I do things, lol. And I think that the invitation for discourse before I begin to chart what the next steps look like is more important to me than optimizing my content delivery. The people that need to see it and engage with it will!
As for live shows, I did take a break mid 2023, knowing that the things happening in our private lives would continue to get worse. So I stepped back from the most emotionally involved/parasocial aspects to be able to care for and help out and be present at home, and not have to give up any of the real work tasks.
I plan to return to them soon, though likely not on such a robust schedule! I usually wasn't drunk personally, just for quality of content, but there certainly a few episodes (like saint patrick's day) that were a bit of a boozy mess and I'm sure live on in infamy for some 😂
