Hello 2025 | Episode 10

Greetings, gewd people! Who else is stumbling out of 2024 and into the new year? I know I am, and being alive in these chaotic times feels good. I may not have a plan yet, however, I know this year will be filled with good stories. Clearly I skipped a few from 2024, and that's okay. We love non-linear time travel in these parts. Reflections include The Flipside Lovers and The Changing Same. beats made by @bettina.francisco
