Reading alongside @andreahairston.bsky.social and @tbonejenkins.bsky.social was amazing! I love reading with friends!

I wasn't the only boy who wanted console Atreyu when Artex died, right?

I wasn't the only boy who wanted to be the MacGuffin at the end of Atreyu's quest, right?

That energy is what I'm walking into 2026 and beyond with.

Thank you severely.

Your faith in me and my journey are the reason I'm running into class on a 5 Hour Energy and a pineapple upside down muffin from Lost Larson.

Late Update!

I have class in 34 minutes. Thank you.

Last year, I ran a gofundme to the tune of $7k in order to keep me in school so I can graduate before the DOE is a picked-over husk and because my art school doesn't know how to value my contributions to literature. I don't believe I'm Chip or

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud
