💌june '23, #1, sunny dispositions
Dear Reader, I hope this email finds you in the shade.
hello friends! as always, the first newsletter of every month is a freebie—happy pride month! i’m very excited about june bc it means i get to celebrate the birthdays of some of my bestest friends :D i don’t have much to say in this newsletter as i’ve just posted one last wednesday!
a panorama and a rainbow, if you can make it out :) — please consider subscribing on substack or patreon for the rest of my newsletters this month (which each contain a unique prompt) as well as different benefits, including coupons for my store!
1️⃣ returning to my game dev roots!
i’m so excited to be back editing my Screenshot Saturday videos—it should be up sometime after stream or tomorrow. i’ll be talking a bit about my game and what it means to me to be developing it!
is there anything you would be interested to hear me talk about in development for Masarap! ? I could talk about the core game loop, or the UI/UX! those are two discussions i’ve wanted to make a video on for a while! what do you think, Reader?
2️⃣ a queer poem + a queer workshop
i’ve been inking out a lot of queer poems lately—nothing much, just drafts so far, and i have come up with this. something that i’d like to turn into a real poem this month. it’ll be exploring feelings of resentment and grief to your elders when you are faced with homophobia from them:
hellspawn
I mourn my elders
before their deaths
the second I heard
the first slur fly out
of my grandmother’s
mouthi know this month will hear softer poems come from me, but i really want to get these feelings out because i feel like that’s something a lot of us have to struggle with. I loved my grandmothers a great deal, but at the end of the day, they were indoctrinated into homophobic trains of thought which :// doesn’t feel good bro
that aside, i’ve announced our next workshop at Poetry Orchard!
Please boost!
