Itsa Me
I started writing a whole op ed piece psychoanalyzing people's choice of Mario Party Jamboree characters, but I did not like the direction it was heading. So now, you're all getting a trip through my photos where I've really enjoyed the texture of the subject. I suppose I technically like the way the light and shadow contrast to imply texture since it's a 2D photo, but, you get the point.
i dare you to touch your phone and see if you can feel all these textures
Please let me know your fav texture in the comments.
Art!
Here are some things I've made recently. If anyone else makes visual art and wants to give me a critique, would love to talk. I'd actually love to do a kind of salon if folks have things they're working on and want to share. hmu.
"Scoot" 2026, and "Cousin Margaritas, Thanksgiving Eve" 2026

recs! recs! recs!
a song i'm loving:
- Te Mata - Kali Uchis
a movie i watched:
- Nat and I just watched all of Widow's Bay and it was great. If you've watched this and liked it and have not yet watched Midnight Mass - highly recommend. It's also set on a fictional island off the coast of New England and also features Hamish Linklater.
a book i'm reading:
- Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth
