I meawowed at a kitten in college today and gave it a jump scare. It literally jumped up, looked behind and ran🤣.

Today marks 40 years since the worst industrial disaster ever.
And the victims and survivors of the Bhopal gas tragedy have never had justice. The Union Carbide factory area is contaminated to this day.

One of my favorite things in Red, White & Royal Blue (both book & movie) is the banter in the texts and the emails. 'A saucy tart once tried to impugn my virtue against his portrait.' 🤣

One time I spent five minutes at lunch drawing a reverse centaur and it became one of my most retweeted pieces of art. I resented that so I deleted it but now it can be free again because not enough people follow me on here for it to go big
