RIP to the pod, an announcement
Hi Ghoul Friends. Let me first apologize for the abruptness of this announcement. I want you to know I thought about this for a very long time. And I spent too much time bargaining before it became too much. I love you all and I'm so grateful. I don't know if this will last for months, a year, several, or forever. But I do know I need to put the microphone down for now.
