This is the first of what will hopefully be a series of posts monthly, if this one is well received, that is dedicated to recapping the news of the month. It’s basically just an idea I had for summing things up in one post and filling in people who may have missed anything. Shout out to the mod team for being so receptive to the idea and helping out with it. Whether this series continues or not will depend on how this post in received, so be sure to leave feedback in the comments with your thoughts on it.
