IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING! How has it almost been a year since we first opened in Central Station? In that time we, like every business on Leith Walk, has struggled with accessibility, discoverability & noise. We’d like to take this opportunity to reintroduce ourselves! 🧵 (1/6)

Getting some submissions over the last few days which is very exciting as we run into the last few days of the jam! Head on over to itch.io/jam/rainbowjam… for the submissions thus far and what I'm sure will be some more over the next 24 hours. #RainbowJam22
