Make Art for Art’s Sake
I startup the MFA soon, and along with it, teaching 100-level English, so my time is about to be a bit more scheduled.

Quick Gratitude
Man, have I had quite the good last couple of years, and that’s maybe something I have a lot of privilege to say. Considering the last couple of years, anyways. I don’t have a lot to write about today, and I’m pretty spent. But hey, you know what? I made it here, and for that…
