The allure of fur and feather | Why I prefer writing (and drawing) animals to humans

If you don't know what "anthropomorphic" means (I didn't for a long time XD), the word refers to "having a human form or human attributes" (via Merriam-Webster).

I'll never forget adopting our sweet puppy from a … Continue reading Illa in memoriam
Some of my favorite YouTubers (& how you can support them)
Some people use YouTube as a means to expand their knowledge and broaden their horizons. They subscribe to the world's greatest intellectuals and spend hours taking notes on such topics as Sikhism, causality, and advanced economics. That's not me—usually, at least. XD I spend enough time during the week learning things, okay? When I sit … Continue reading Some of my favorite YouTubers (& how you can support them)
