About

This place is a manifestation of my creative brain, treated as a dumping ground for creative activities. Like me, it will always be a work in progress: messy, multi-themed, and only half finished.

The vintage ads in this newspaper take you to pages I've made.

July 2025 Issue

Hello, July! Well, as I reflected on my Neocities profile, I suppose having a monthly newspaper layout means I must update at least once a month at the beginning of the month to change the message and wish everyone a happy month. So here we are.

This July I am not feeling fantastic, but the reason is because I self-educate and pay attention to what's going on in the world, so there's no way to fix it. I'm doing my best. I started taking Harvard's free course on the American Constitution and the foundations of our politics and I'm throwing myself into Monster Hunter Wilds. Somewhere in between history and fantasy I hope I'll find stability because in the present moment it feels hopeless.

This month I am reading more poetry, using my phone less, and staying in the shade to beat the heat.

Wishing you a nice July and BEGGING you to fuel your rage into helping your community offline, because I promise that most of the people you're arguing with online don't know what they're talking about and they don't care if you're right. They aren't here to learn.
