WAIW | This Ain’t Vegandale!

Image is a photo of a Saigon street with numerous scooters coming towards the camera. Shops are visible on both sides of the street, and a small neon sign in the top left-hand corner says "Quán Chay Giác Tha".

WAIW | Post-Release Blues

Image contains a photo of two dogs going for a walk on a dirt road. Both dogs are on leashes, which can be seen coming from the bottom of the image. The dog on the right has red fur, and the dog on the left has white fur with black spots.

With the new issue having been released earlier this week (and even before that for Patreon and newsletter subscribers), I thought I would take today's WAIW episode to share my post-release blues while walking a couple of dogs. Read More »
