Today is my Dad's birthday.
He hated celebrating his birthday- if I were to take a guess, it would be the attention and focus on something he didn't earn (though over the last years, I know that he learned that living through another year is absolutely something we achieve).

Thinking about taking on some composing work this year- I mostly work in electronics/atmospheric/droney music.
Got a horror audio fiction piece that needs some scoring? Something else that could use some weird sounds?
Hit me up-

Today was about as bad as I’ve seen it. A level of aggression from antis that I’ve rarely seen- with like, notable violence against both us and CPD.
But you know what? No one lost their cool, we got everyone in and out safely.
I’m so proud to be working with this escort team~

It's "best of" list season, which are ultimately meaningless except for how they help you convince people reading your resume that you actually know what you're talking about!
