Hello thar!

So the results of our big meta/crisis week seem to be that we should just keep doing what we’re doing now, but start telling you what we’re talking about in advance, starting…NOW.

This week we thought we’d wade in on that whole marriage equality thing everyone’s been talking about, and the week after we’ll be talking about…we’re not quite sure yet but we’ll let you know soon.

So if you want to do a guest video on this (or any thing else) then let us know. ♥
