tiktok is littered with his fans but he’s just… gone

annoying gay friends (owners of 2 Queens Coffee) have even more annoying gay friends who own a b&b they’ve called the Stickett Inn

it was gorgeous and he said he almost did roses

people calling this nostalgia politics: possibly true

but, also: fluency at encoding written forms into multiple shapes expands the range of forms you can *identify as written language* simply by understanding there can be more forms
