✨ publishing! ✨

scott adams died. some of you (@laurab7.bsky.social in particular) may remember that time he harassed me on Twitter when I called him out for being a lazy writer. As a result, I was accused of appropriating Christmas by n*z*s & called a loud, obnoxious Afro-Cuban.

So. Uh. Yeah. Well then.

oh oops

happy new year!! i quit my job!
