Blaugust 2025

Despite that I can barely keep myself motivated to post even weekly, I went ahead end signed up again for Blaugust. I did it the first year on [BloggingIntensifies] and last year on Lameazoid, and now they are one blog, so technically I did it twice here, and this will be my third year. I'm not going in with any plans. I may post once per week.

Welcome to Blaugust 2023

Welcome to Blaugust 2023, I guess, I'm not real sure what that means aside from, maybe, MAYBE, a bit more of an "intense posting schedule".
