I love my cat and I make no apologies.
I know everyone thinks I’m weird, but animals are my favorite subjects, and my cat is my favorite animal, thus Kirby is my favorite subject.

All real now, redux
Yesterday I went to court for a client. Multiple people referred to me as a lawyer.
I’ve got my hands out, tracing the bright line contours of my future and it feels… real.
