Now fully set up! Posts should be coming out every 6 hours — if you're in the credits of a featured image and wish to no longer have your @ pinged when that happens (or vice-versa), please let me know! Do note though that the same name won't get used more than once a week to avoid excessive pinging.

Posts will be a little haphazard as I try moving workflow from Xitter to here — in the meantime, thank you to everyone who's already followed from there to here 🙇
