A tale about a boy and his imagination...to put it mildly.
It’s weird, it’s whimsical, it’s an inverted bildungsroman infused with absurdist deadpan satire.
But most importantly it's about the things we leave behind to seem grown.

Are y’all prepared for The Great TikTok Migration?
Bluesky is going to be the meeting hub if TikTok gets banned in the US.
We will be talking and organizing on here—not Twitter. Not Facebook/Instagram.
If TikTok gets banned I’m deleting Instagram.

Imma bet nine normie bucks that Haley "Hawk Tuah" Welsh was scammed by some seedy tech bros who conned her into making a meme coin. God, even the word "meme coin" sounds so astoundingly brainrotted. And dumbasses really spat "their lifesavings" on that thang? 1/2
