so here’s what you missed on glee in no particular order:

• I went to Iceland!
• I moved
• I got a raise!
• I experienced grief
• I went on a retreat
• I got promoted at work
• I lost my ID
• I read three books!
• I lost another family member
• I ate shark

Soo that’s what I’ve been up to.

Oof sorry for the radio silence; since the post election “fuck this fuck you” era set in, I’ve had a bunch of pre-Iceland trip planning, packing for the jan1 move, and freelance & 9 to 5 nonsense to work through.

Oh, also I’m now 28. Yay, one year closer to returning to earth’s loving embrace.

Well this is frankly devastating. I do not want to talk about it.

idk what kind of cloud is rising from my apartment and shrouding my tiny porch in godly vibes, but it does make it feel a bit like I’m sitting on Olympus

I just made a starter pack for freelance writers & journalists of color, b/c it's rough as AF in news media right now. Please let me know if you want to be added or taken off. And spread the word #freelance #writersofcolor

I’m being dramatic though, I love this tiny press of non speaking neurodivo authors and I will do anything for them, anything they want, call me genie bc I live to make their dreams come true 🥹

“Hey, I know the back cover’s already full of quotes, but can you add this four line quote? :)”

progress is progressing! 🧶

The count is off 😭 The lettering is off by one to the right so the bones aren’t exactly where they should be but I think this is one of those mistakes only I will notice. But I will notice. And it does bug me🥲

starting to see posts prescribing how to properly reply to people on this app and lemme just say…

i didn’t figure it out for the last five social media apps, so i wouldn’t expect me to figure it out on this one.

if i see something neat, im gonna say so, and it will be awkward & genuine & me-ish

Everyone is sharing their most popular artwork so I guess I should too! This Cult of the Lamb fanart I made really blew up.
