Hermetic Library Newsletter #179

eventually, still, no really, I swear

Howdy everyone! Here’s a public summary of my activity this week ending June 28, 2024 and reminders about some things upcoming!

Yikes, it’s almost a new month. I’d better get next month’s social posting schedule refilled!

On July 5 will be Aphelion 2024, when Earth is farthest from Sun in its orbit! That also means that I will wrap the current issue of the zine. To be honest, I’ve not gotten submissions for a while, and have been relying on a lot of older stuff that I still had available. Without those new submissions coming in, I’m going not going to start up a new issue this time. I’ll eventually, still, no really, I swear, loop back and get the previous issues formatted and at least digitally published to the library’s Itch, and for gratis download to Patrons with the digital perk. But, that’s it for the zine. (Such has been the way of so very many things I’ve tried to get going over the years!)

And, I’m tired. I’ve been holding open this door, with a smile and happily offered invitations to participate in various ways at the library, for over a decade now, and I’m just tired of hardly ever getting much by way of response, and even more rarely will a general response turn into actual participation. So, I’ve become slowly less and less interested in trying to do anything that requires others to participate, including the zines. It’s definitely been a bummer, but it is what it is. So, I’ll try to re-focus what time and energy I had used for that stuff on other things now.

Either way, I’ll keep on keepin’ on as long as I am able! And, you’re here, following along, so that’s not nothin’!

And, of course, I did other ongoing work on site, blog, and socials.

Thank you for visiting and being a reader at Hermetic Library. You help me be of service and make the work of the library meaningful. Especial thanks to each and every ongoing Patron on Patreon and other supporters for making the work of the library possible!
