Mainly I write horror or horror-adjacent fiction along with essays and poems.

 Kinda sick of watching dumbass advertisements in good faith, getting to the end only for the stupid scam ad to glitch and I have to close the app, then the app won’t give me my Sats and the failed ad has somehow been applied to my total. Seriously, ZBD, do better.

 A friend’s father had one of these. I wrote a program on it to change numerical bases.

I coded away my best friend.
