This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

I was asked to compose and produce the music for the official William & Mary holiday video this year and it just dropped! All music performed by me and produced in my home studio.

Huge thanks to my friends who performed in the video, and the W&M Videography Team.
