A yellowed and stained poster for a circus act. The top reads "It's time for a puppet show!" and there is a black line sketch of two hands with strings coming out of each finger leading to small puppets in a variety of costumes.

none of my accounts in any social media is "specific account for one thing" unless specified as such. so when we are mutuals, I will refer to you as "my friend". it's okay if you do not think so. one way to solve the problem would be to unfollow and I wouldn't hold any grudge against that.

many people in the ad community started to send request to follow in Instagram so I should clarify one thing:

if we follow each other on Instagram, that means we are friends. beware of that fact. I will act as if we are friends and you cannot be surprised by that.

So...how about you peruse the menu?

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

A page of a sewing pattern for some sort of costume. There is a large black splotch of ink in the center. Hand written on the pattern is "Iris- tell him that if he tears this again I will sew him directly into it" Around the edges of the pattern there are fingerprints in what appears to be blood

She’s worked too hard for as long as I’ve known her. I can’t count the amount of times I’ve left the trailer at closeup and she’s still been there, β€œjust getting this one thing finished.”
