i'm also going to fill in some of the posts from sept-dec, 2016 on this blog before i put this aside for a long while.

i didn't avoid this on purpose or anything, it just got lost in all of the things i was doing to rebuild. iirc, i got up to mid sept, and doubled back around to 2013 to do the final rebuild, which included archiving all of the files on an external hard drive and rebuilding the deathtokoalas blog. i was supposed to just do it in sequence, but it didn't actually happen.

if we're putting the rebuild aside until i finish periods 3 & 4, i should plug that hole, first.

that was, of course, also the period leading up to the last election.
