Good noontide,

We here at Sentenced are HARD AT WORK!

This is SENTENCED’s second newsletter, and you can bet your bottom dollar that we have not faltered since our last. Everything we’re doing is still just as powerful as before.

If you’re not signed up, and you’re reading this on our website, go ahead and fill out this form to hear goings-on every Tuesday:

Brief Recap

Sentences

A while back, we asked the Sentenced community to write sentences based on certain prompts and so forth. We planned on printing them out as a one page zine— handouts for our live show, Period.

We forgot to do that.

We are human. All of us make mistakes. But unlike many, we’re taking the step to right our wrongs. Yesterday, we released all of the sentences. Go ahead and look at these wonderful sentences, all of which would be impossible without you.

Announcement

Sentenced Readers!

We’re sending you *literally* every form of congratulations we see the sky while jumping up and down and rapidly happy clapping.

Holy fuckity fuck. You guys really pulled it off. Like… readers… this thing is on fire everywhere. And audiences have wrapped both arms around Newsletter #1, Theo Scheer’s My Secret, and Remi Dawns’ Poet of Theater interview. You made something gorgeous out of ingredients you didn’t ask for. Which is what makes you (and this whole Sentenced audience) so clutch.

When you’re a reader and apex Sentenced fan like you, we can imagine it takes a very resolute mind and heart to process all the strange people with muddled intentions trying to put out boring writing.

What’s happening next week with Sentenced is a victory lap and a testament to fortitude. With Period Live, we created a world people wanted to experience about a subject that’s hard to talk about. We opened the live show higher than most live shows with budgets 5 to 6 times larger.

Some time before next week’s Tuesday Newsletter, we’re releasing the Period Live Director’s Cut on YouTube. We’ll remind you, but watch out for it by following our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Sentencedlit​

What a complete fucking WIN this is. I know we all breathe rare air. I realize how lucky we are. But we also know how genuinely GOOD the audience and our online readers are. And seeing good people put shitty people over their knee, for a good old fashioned, pants-down spanking in the supermarket is a special experience we don’t take for granted.

Someone Killed Mx. Period

It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the death of our mascot, Mx. Period In the early morning of Thursday, January 22nd, 2026, they were crushed and broken.

Ultimately, we feel responsible.

We put the fate of Mx. Period in your hands, allowing our readers to help or repeatedly punch them, and we didn’t expect you to pummel them with your cursor until they were a flattened, pulverized piece of punctuation.

We expected readers to read more than they punched Mx. Period. That was our mistake. Within two days of their debut, Mx. Period has passed away.

We’re working on reviving Mx. Period, but it’s unclear at this time if we will end up succeeding.

Statement on Profanity

We did not create a newsletter that sends out weekly on Tuesdays for the purposes of a crude joke.

It has come to our attention that there is an infamous joke surrounding things that happen weekly on Tuesdays. It has to do with an alliteration made possible by the phrase *ee *ou *ext *uesday.

We did not select Tuesday as the release day in order to make this joke.

We pledge now that we will always say “see you next week” at the end of the emails so that no one believes we support this joke.

One more time:

We did not create a newsletter that sends out weekly on Tuesdays for the purposes of a crude joke.

See you next week,

Sentenced Lit
