i am fairly active on discord. you can add me at ‘dewteereeum’ (just add a message with who you are so I don’t ignore lol)

my DMs are open to anyone that needs an ear. i can’t promise to be an active conversationalist (trust me, my friends and family know how hard it is to get a hold of me), but i can promise to always engage in good faith, and offer compassion wherever

the movies were a treat for the bisexuals, for sure

i get a bunch of behind-the-scenes clips

yes, a day of socializing under fluorescent lights will knock me out for a week, but I also learned how to program with Java in 3 months because I wanted to make a minecraft mod. we take what we can get 🤷🏻
