Long time no see my dear friends!
I have taken a much-needed month-long vacation (and sadly broke my 2-year weekly newsletter streak) to recharge, but now I am finally back with this update-packed issue that gets you up to speed on all that happened in Nouns in February.
We have a lot to get through, so buckle up (and don’t forget to subscribe)!
