Letter # 20
Hello all!
I haven’t emailed you in a minute, though my speed and volume of content creation is at an all-time high. (What do they call a high ‘volume over time’? Flow rate?)
Video and livestreaming have been the easiest ways to share my ideas recently, though I do love writing and plan to get back to it. The Twitch stream is having a degree of success as well.
So this letter will be a brief index to my non-written work from the last month or so.
Key
⭐=particularly recommended
⏩=short (<1 hr)
