Patreon Newsletter #49: November 2023! (Patreon)

From Adal:

Hey Future Lizards!

October seemed to simultaneously fly by in a flash and also drag on for years. I didn’t make it out to any Haunted Houses and didn’t get to watch many horror films but I DID eat 27 mini-packets of M&M’s in the last 3 days so I can’t exactly call this month a failure.

Jemma and I went to Italy and Montenegro. I’d like to say it was for vacation but I was simply trying to find and fight Stanley Tucci. 

I always like to donate to Palestine Children's Relief Fund and encourage anyone interested to do so if they have the means. I also donated this month to Doctors Without Borders - Gaza.

Here’s what I consumed in October:

TV:

• Our Flag Means Death season 2
• Gen V
• Beckham

Movies:

• Bodies Bodies Bodies
• X

Music:

• Sufjan Stevens - Javelin
• The Mountain Goats - Jenny From Thebes
• Daodi Freyr - I Made An Album
• Butterfingers - Breakfast At Fatboys
• Oasis - (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?

Other Stuffs:

• Read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke and loved it
• I’m about 75 pages into Babel by R.F. Kuang
• Was a guest once again on one of my favorite podcasts to join - The Restricted Section
• Listened to the Pablo Torree Finds Out podcast as a few people notified me there’s an episode about finding out why everyone nowadays yells ‘Let’s Gooooo!’. Something I’ve voiced concern about before.
• Enjoying the ‘60 Songs That Explain the 90’s’ podcast
• Just played and enjoyed the board game Space Base

Please let me know what you’ve been enjoying!

Hey Riddiots

We recorded ahead in October so I didn't talk about it on the show but my heart goes out to the people suffering in Gaza right now. If you have the means and the inclination, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (https://www.pcrf.net/) could use your support. They provide humanitarian services to the children of Gaza, which is about half the population, but since aid can't get into Gaza right now, they have temporarily suspended their operations. They are still collecting donations in anticipation of a cease fire and I'm trying to stay hopeful even though the news is pretty bleak. Hope you all take care of yourselves and, if you have the space for it, take care of someone you love.

Peace,

JPC
