Over the last 24 to 36 hours or so, I've had a major uptick in mood. I remember I had a healing sort of dream where I got my feelings out to some characters from my dreams and weirdly enough, I woke up the next morning feeling better. It...

August 23, 2025 I’ve been tinkering with the site’s design and layout the last couple of days. The new color scheme is my take on Dracula (the theme, not the vampire), and navigation has moved to the footer. I like this version better...
AI could generate a thousand images of urban decay or rural neglect, each technically superior to anything any human has captured. But it couldn’t tell which stories matter, which moments demand preservation, which truths need dragging...
