It’s been a little minute since I have been on here. Thank you so much to everyone who helped! I completed the NM residency & made wonderful (lifelong) connections. As a 1st gen artist who is writing his way out, it means the world that y’all showed up for me! Stay tuned.

I've programmed my computer to auto-replace "Trump" with "convicted felon Donald Trump" when I type because I don't have the guts to call him "the rapist Donald Trump."

My choice? Jerry Dandridge (β€œFright Night”). He’s essentially a traveling serial killer bent on draining small towns of their lifeblood. What makes him so chilling is that he’s a predator that is relatable, and he uses that relatability to obliterate his prey. Also, he turned Amy into this. 😳😱😳
