Did you know we produce a little single-page zine every month about the prior month's news? And you can get it in your mailbox on some nice paper too! What's better than getting something in the mail?
First, I tried to enjoy the holidays and basically took two full weeks off to kick back and relax with my wife and two pups. That part was absolutely wonderful.
Then January started and shit hit the fan immediately here in the US. It got me thinking about how I could potentially continue to make this little “paper” while also cutting back on the news that seems to be killing my mental health and draining me from the inside out.
As you’ll see below, I haven’t quite figured that out yet. And honestly, I’m not sure I should. I have serious questions for anyone who isn’t full of dread and anxiety, and constantly on edge right now—and ignoring it won’t solve anything.
So here we are… looking back at all the wonderful things that happened waaaay back in December 2025 with a completely revamped and redesigned LLoN for the new year. There are probably a few details here and there that might need to be updated and improved, but welcome to 2026.
