So do I! Baltimore native here. Excited to meet you. I'm on a panel, am involved in a few offsites, and will be table sitting with Sundress and Yellow Arrow. Hopefully our paths cross.

When you come across racists complaining about Bad Bunny today, don’t forget to hit them with this: Puerto Rican literature about Puerto Rico written by a boricua. Yo serΓ­a borincano aunque naciera en la luna. Thanks and hope you have a great Sunday!

So grateful for Aldrin (& @artfrommaryland.bsky.social ) and this is the first time I've done a SURPRISE drop, but there's a first time for everything.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Someone just tried to make the argument that writing isn't work.

Like um... hello, are you unwell?

There's something reflective about this fall.... or is it just me?
