Newsletter: Jun 2025

Herein you'll find an archived edition of the monthly newsletter: Jun 2025. Hope you enjoy!

Field Notes

We're just going to ignore how the 'monthly' newsletter hasn't been published for three months.

This year's proving an excellent one for the poetic web. Two amazing projects released: the Internet Phone Book and the Good Internet Magazine. I'm proud to say I contributed to both!

I was alerted to Kami's excellent idea of trading blog post titles by the lovely Ava, and am pleased to say I'm engaging in this project! If you'd like to trade with me, please contact me. Hooray for getting myself to write more.

I have a few things in the works I'll be able to share in the coming months...that's it, really.
