Big news — paid subscriptions are now live! If you’ve been enjoying my work and want to support it directly, consider upgrading to a paid plan. Not ready for that? You can also leave a one-time tip via Ko-fi. Every bit helps me keep creating and will contribute to a big project coming this fall! Thank you for your support 🤘🏽

nearly 5 minutes of them pleading with us to turn off the TV and talk to the person sitting next to us. hard agree
