Hi. Guess I’m trying this—
I’m Christian (call me Chris): he/they
I’m a reluctant Texan, lifelong illustrator & musician, wrote my first novel published 2022 called Days of Class, based loosely on my experience being tortured at age 11 when I was forced into conversion therapy.
Just lookin to heal

I don’t much care for surviving this anymore
And I think I’m ok with that

I wish things could be different
I’ve spent so many years doing what I could with what I had to try and change things, to get better
And nothing works
Something always goes wrong
I always just have to live with it or deal with it
Nothing can just get better

I’m not on here much
Last few months have been real tough
My dad died
I miss him terribly
I hadn’t appreciated how much we talked, how he was basically my best friend. Not being able to share things with him, to listen to him, and ask him things, to ask for his help when I need it?
It’s rough…

These first two episodes have me thinking that the “Great Work” of their society is basically maintaining the credits system for the entire Galaxy
Their mint-condition Old Republic credits are basically like the gold standard: especially when Palpatine took over and the official credits changed…

It really is quite touching.
I haven’t seen something bring people together like the UnitedHealth CEO assassination since the release of Pokémon Go.

Had a night with, let’s call him, “The Fuck Buddy” last night & afterwards, lying there in his bed, holding him; I’m not often lucky enough to enjoy that kind of physical closeness with people. For years I thought it a sign something was wrong with me, that I could never have that…

Introduce yourself as a black tv character.

Y’know what, this was a solid album, one of the few I could listen through, no skips, on a regular basis
And it came at a difficult time and did a lot for me, to get me through a rough year

Might do a more appropriate repost here, but this took awhile already and it’s late, so for now—if it’s cool w/y’all—here’s a link to the Threads version (it’s a public page, so you can still read it even without an account, I believe)

I’m gonna brag for a bit, but this is some of my favorite work: that first sentence I think is the cleverest I’ve ever written
