Ava's Learning Spectacular: SU&SD Newsletter #61

Ava: Woof, it’s been a bit of a month for me, with a lot of changes happening behind the scenes, but also so much excitement. My first solo video, a love letter to Songbirds, a game I’ve seen undervalued for a really long time, went live, with some interviews with actual real life birds.

This is in no way the end of the journey, I looked at that video as it went live with a mix of sheer joy that it came out so well and an eagle eye for mistakes I’d made, and plans...
