#oops Take 2: Your (actual) community news roundup: January 25, 2024

Your community news roundup: Jan. 25, 2024

Hi again …

We are sending out the newsletter early this week because I accidentally just emailed EVERYONE a copy of a story we wrote this week, instead of publishing it to the website like I was trying to do …

Don’t you worry, my brain will be waking me up at 3 a.m. to remind me of this mistake for the next 3-5 years.

Sorry, y’all! Here are more highlights from tomorrow’s edition.

I’m going to go hide under my desk and stress-eat chocolate now. 👍

Typo(s) of the week.

When the print edition comes out, you will notice I once again mixed up my rights and lefts in a caption. 😒

Actually, I moved the pictures last minute because I thought it would balance the page better, and then forgot all about the caption.

Apparently this story and I are just not gonna be buds.

Also …

Deferrrrrrrrrrral.

… this is also in this week’s print edition, because every day should be Talk Like a Pirate Day. #changemymind
