Currently reading Deliver Thy Pigs, and it's so good! Joey knocked it out of the park.
Thank you, Melissa! Things probably would have ended similarly if we had two Spideys, haha. Kids are hilarious.

You know what doesn't get its support unceremoniously pulled by a tech company? Fuckin' books, brother
Oh no, so sorry to hear it man.
The way this is so silly but straightforward always makes me smile.

Recently graduated from “my tattoos are so meaningful” to “that chonk holding an umbrella looks cool.” Feeling very accomplished.
