4 Am. I somehow hurt my back while sleeping (again!). It’s a special feeling waking up to sharp pain unable to move for no reason at all. I’m sure this is going to be a delightful day

Tenho guião para 20 segundos, com storyboard (AI generated, mas bonzinho)+ tenho uma GoFundMe preparada, mas prefiro não receber fundos a título individual. Mutuals? Pub e Marketing? Quem alinha?
