This is an apology statement.

I was off the grid for the past three weeks, volunteering in the deep folds of Yunnan’s beautiful and brooding mountains, giving primary school children their first lesson (and probably last) on Shakespeare, democracy and whatnot.

I underestimated the physical and emotional toll it took on me and unfortunately, did not have the time to prepare an issue of AF that’s up to my standards. I will return at the end of this month with a hella packed one.

Thanks to everyone who liked and mentioned the last two issues on SEVENTEEN. Seeing others love what I loved writing is never not touching.

Enjoy these compensatory photos and see you soon!
