i love how you have to whisper in a library. there should be more whisper-only spaces. speak softly if you must speak at all

I have a bad habit of forgetting to promote my poetry collections. My newest title, Tricks, is available here and comes with a trigger warning: it is highly gay and should not be read by anyone who may be prone to frequent arousal. https://t.co/wLy4yP1aNi

btw in your 20's and 30’s you’ll start rediscovering the niche interests and hobbies you had as a kid. it’s very important you revisit them. your younger self was actually on to something.
