Letter from the editor, &amp issue 012. Came with the post-hiatus issue and made me feel all sentimental. Editor said a lot of really nice stuff in this one.

>Imagine us all bustling around some office floor, handing in manuscripts and pulling together designs, slipping on deadlines and fucking around. Maybe in another time. Maybe. When I zoom out what I see is a great group of interesting and talented artists, each of us with our own unique flair, each of us coming from our own angle, throwing something down, putting another tile in the mosaic, turning the kaleidoscope. If I didn't have to work, I would do this fulltime. It's my favorite creative outlet. I could write and edit and shitpost and go crazy and turn inside out and then do it all over again. That would be meaningful. It's nice to imagine that if we were to keep going, then maybe in any number of years we'll have amassed something worth noting. Maybe if we hang on long enough, we can actually attain significance. Maybe. The only way to achieve anything is to keep going. I have learned that. There's a lot of good that can come from wasting so much time and effort. And I believe in great things to come, if not for this project, then for something like it, something adjacent, something related.

Which entries were yours? You've put yourself above the people who contribute nothing. Not sure if it came up in a thread or his last letter, but I think editor got a job as a copywriter, so things are looking up a bit for him. If you were a regular contributor (especially an early one) then the 012 letter was addressed to you.
