The entirety of summer passed by without me making a new post, which is a sign that I ought to be more diligent in making regular updates instead of just focusing on big projects. I have another interview I did last month which I’m currently transcribing, so I anticipate that’ll be the next post I make here! Until then I figure an update would be fitting since I haven’t posted since uploading the interview at the end of June.
