Hey there, y'all. Me again. I hope you're doing well on this June Saturday evening. I am troubled, but I am doing as well as can be expected. You see, I am an extreme empath. I want to be an... Read more →

Heyyy, there. I don't know about you, but here in the US, we've been watching and/or participating in the many protests around the nation, precipitated by the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd. It's been frustrating to... Read more →
