+            hello everynyan! wow it's been a bit, oops...
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            i like to keep promises, and also never drop any projects that i say i'm working on (as proof of this fact,
+            the vap kernel still gets internal git pushes!)
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            something we announced awhile ago that we unfortunately have not given as much information on as we'd like
+            is lifeblood! <a href="/blog/posts/stripe_sessions_2025">that cheap risc v devkit we announced back in april!</a>
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            with my life currently being quite busy with college, we had an internal meeting among our developers as well
+            as some friends close to the company on what out of our work-in-progress internal projects we should focus
+            on, and lifeblood won by around a single vote! (to be fair, it won the entire vote of the people outside the
+            company, but adjusted for the value of internal company votes it just barely got above asklyphe, which means
+            hopefully some work will be done on that as well soon!)
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            since then, i've been doing my best to bring lifeblood os, the operating system that would be shipped with
+            lifeblood computers, as far as possible; and what we've released, while still in a very early stage, should
+            hopefully be enough to start developing basic stuff for the system!
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            currently, since we don't have any devkits that you can buy, you're limited to running the operating system
+            in qemu's virt riscv32 board, which is unfortunate (but we hope to remedy this fact as soon as we can!)
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            the operating system, as stated earlier, is also still in an incredibly early state, and unless you have
+            experience in low level system programming, you may have a bit of trouble getting your code on the OS
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            however! if you are either experienced, or just the curious type, the source code is now fully available
+            on our git!

+            if you're interested in talking to other vore microcomputers fans, we have a discord you can join (yeah i
+            know, we'll try not to limit any information to it) at <a href="https://discord.gg/YqUuCbxVsS">https://discord.gg/YqUuCbxVsS</a>
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            unfortunately, while that's all for now, we hope that this will be a great start to the public release of
+            the lifeblood project! hopefully we'll have some more cool stuff to show off soon! (or in 5 months, who knows
+            at this point lol)

+            as always, happy voring (:
