My apologies for the lack of updates this week and last; I’ve had a lot going on. I’ll also be taking next week off for the U.S. election. You can always check my Twitter or Bluesky for status updates (I’m readdeadreader on both). I still have a ton of information I’m looking forward to sharing, so don’t forget to check back to read it! New here? Visit the Table of Contents to read the essays in order, or the Index & TL;DR to explore the site by topic. New essays are published Wednesdays at 1 p.m. E.T./10 a.m. P.T. Sharing the site is always appreciated!
