coming to you live from my bowl of soup
news
it’s been quiet, as in the last two months, i’ve both finished grad school and moved houses. that’s meant i’ve been pretty busy, with a bit less time to write, make, and submit. it makes me a little sad, but not from a production standpoint—moreso that i know these are things i enjoy doing, and i’m looking forward to life slowing down in a bit to allow me more time for my creative practice.
