Oh, look, the new Mefi newsletter has a name! And a second edition! Whee! πŸ“°

Also, the latest Metatalktail Hour asks members to tell the least plausible story about yourself, and it's so, so great. πŸ•΄πŸΌ

Also, also, don't forget, it's the second theme week of August fundraising month, and this time around, we want to see some sweet, sweet art (any interesting art find that you like, in any medium). Search tags for "sweetart" to see what people are posting, and/or tag your art-themed post with "sweetart." 🍭
