Back in February, I was looking at some of the new Magic cards in Aetherdrift. I saw Whir of Invention and said, “oh, who did that? Brian Chippendale?"

Who is Brian Chippendale?

grateful that at least one person in this space can be real and show off their warts and also, repeatedly, tender and empathetic. maybe a goal post for next year.

thank you jake. in the cruel-irony economy, i think you're quite brave.
Out now on Substack. Hope you had a great year.
