A Big Old Skeleton

How hot is this episode coming in? I finished the edit and uploaded the episode to Acast around 10 PM. That's like... two hours ago! I have been lax in my editing duties, but in fairness I was on vacation for the past week so, y'know, priorities had to be shifted around. But I didn't forget my responsibilities, as the below demonstrates:

This episode is great! I had fun recording it and I even had a pretty good time editing it. Frankly, I hope you enjoy listening to it. If you do, let us know! You can leave a comment and everything.

Next episode, despite what the liar past-me might say, drops on July 13.

We will simply never learn how to read a calendar properly, that is my guarantee to you. Also if you wanna know how hot this is coming in, I am posting from a plane that was supposed to have landed like two hours ago but instead landed just now and I immediately hastened to rechost this. That's dedication, baby.

Are you new to Philly? You should know about hoagies. You can make them from different ingredients like bread, lettuce, mayonnaise, bugs, monster tails, and scarabs. Different ingredients have different effects, like making you feel bloated or tired. I can't believe you've gotten this far in Philly without knowing about hoagies! Here, take this...

hi folks! jae here. welcome to the first financial update of 2023! this is a long one with a lot to discuss so strap in. as always, I recommend taking a look at past financial updates for context on terminology and concepts.

first off: where have we been? why has this financial update taken so long to come out?

2023 has been kind of a mess for us thus far. I was unfortunately kind of a non-entity due to health issues (complications from long covid) during the entirety of Q1, meaning that all work I had planned (including revenue-generating work) was automatically delayed. I’m currently the only one who writes these, which means that if I forget or am unable, it doesn’t happen. (we’re working on fixing this part.) I realize this is kind of a non-answer but it’s the truth. I have a bad working memory so sometimes I forget things, like that I need to write the financial update. fellow ADHD-havers will probably understand.

on to the meat!

My dearest request: if you like cohost (like I do), and you have $5 spare cash a month (like I do), please consider subscribing to cohost Plus. It’s an investment in keeping this fun little place where I like to post around. I want to support the site and I want to support @staff, and this is the easiest way to do it.

i genuinely love cohost from the bottom of my heart. i love posting dumb thoughts here and reading about other peoples much smarter thoughts. I would really, really love to be here for as long as the internet exists, but in order for that to happen we (the users) have to be the ones to step in and make it happen!!
$5 a month will keep eggbug fed and let many silly people on the internet have a comfortable place to exist. please consider it

if you’re an existing subscriber and want to give us more money (thanks!) you can click “manage subscription” at the link above and update your “quantity” there. at the moment, buying extra subscriptions doesn’t do anything but give us some walkin’ around money.

this is buried towards the end of the big financials post but i feel like more people should be aware that cohost already lets you pay them more money for cohost Plus! if you like cohost and want to give them more money for your subscription you actually already can! though only specifically in increments of $5

I, your humble podcast editor, have done my duty and done it diligently, and as such you all now are able to listen to Episode 4 of Dirty Pair: Project P.O.D.

This episode is all about cats and cheesecake. And apples. And trash cans. And... thumb wrestling? Anyway, I hope you enjoy listening to two dudes talk about Dirty Pair Episode 4: The Chase Has the Scent of Cheesecake and Death or whatever it's called. It depends on who you ask, after all.

Fun fact: when we recorded this episode, I read the calendar wrong! There isn't going to be an episode on the 22nd, that is incorrect. There will be an episode on the 29th, because that is two weeks from this episode, which keeps to our bi-weekly podcasting cadence. Bi-weekly? Fortnightly? Is a fortnight two weeks? I refuse to find out for certain.

I will not be taking further questions, unless the question is "Hey, does this episode rule?" in which case I will answer that yes, it absolutely does.
