I’ve lost access to my Bluesky account — I hope temporarily — so here I am in shadow form until I can rematerialize. Even my shadow was raised by books.

I recognized it because I liked it enough to find it on Apple Music after you used it before. It’s in one of my playlists now. I guess I’m a sap. 😂
