Listen folks, we can stop arguing the specifics. Here's the four main things:

Hello friends, anybody looking to commission some music?
It's the off season for my main income source (tutoring) and I'm cutting it really close on rent this month. I'm looking to take on one commission in the $200-400 range that I'll turn around quickly.
Reposts appreciated.

Received a handwritten note today, and I’m glad it’s still being done. Even now, it’s more meaningful than anything typewritten.
