Something's rotten in the state of Homestuck, same as it ever was.
I also end up talking about clown gender for way too long.
If you don't want to listen to the episode to hear the podcast changes: We will not be reading Problem Sleuth, we will not be doing anything that requires giving money to Homestuck (the entity), and episodes will switch to monthly releases.
This script was finished and recorded on August 23rd, 2025, so sorry if there has been more relevant info to come out since then that's not addressed.
