Would you consider liking and following me on YouTube? I'd really appreciate it!

Of course, only if you enjoy the tune. Some people have mentioned they like the harmonies and the tasteful guitar solo. Let me know what you think.

M. E. Samm’s novel El & Em centers around the attempts of two bisexual men to form a lasting relationship in an atmosphere where that love could easily destroy their careers.

The Infinity Loop of Writing So the protagonist walks straight into a trap, gets held hostage and it tied to a chair. . . Wait, does the antagonist use duct tape, zip ties or good ol’ fashioned rope? Where do they get the rope from? What is it even made of? Is it, like, braided? <googles ‘how do you make rope’> <spends an hour watching Youtube tutorials> Okay, new story. A plucky young 18th century rope-maker is scraping out a living, unaware of the threat to their livelihood from the looming Industrial Revolution. . . <googles ‘Industrial Revolution’> <orders six books on the rise of steam power> Okay, so now it’s a steampunk story. A plucky young rope-maker is kidnapped for their expertise and ironically tied to a chair with their own rope by a fat cat factory owner who wants to know why industrial-produced rope is inferior to the homespun stuff. . . And on and on until the end of recorded time. . .

先日引っ越しをしたばかりで大晦日から1/7日までネット環境が整わず、新規に購入した家具や家電も年末年始の配送の都合で当分の間届かずで不便な生活になりそうなので全てのSNSを10日間ほど休もうと思っています🍀

皆様におかれましては素敵な新年をお迎え下さい🌈😊
