What’s Next For Brood

We love Substack! But we want our own website. We decided to launch on Substack so that we can focus on the writing sooner and figure out the nasty stuff later. The same is true for Brood’s branding and logo which were scrapped together on one steamy summer night. Brood ascends! don’t miss out!
