It's been a journey of... several years now. I have more people than I can type here to thank, but I need to thank my community most of all.
Thank you RayFKrew, you've been there with me through the good times and the bad. I am a better person for having you.
There may never be more of a frustrating delivery company to work with then @FedEx. Two days I've been told my package is being delivered, with a time window. Then they say delivery attempt made, no door tag or attempt to call.
I'm in an APARTMENT @FedExHelp.
What up Final Fantasy fans...tsy, we got the Ultimate quilt to make you cozy on those cool, cool. Wrap yourself in everyone's favourite mode of transportation, a Chocobo! This give away is open until 9:30pm Pacific. Enter here: desertbus.org/2024/prize/TMD…
Jordan thinks you should check out our latest batch of photos by @kolintoney at photos.desertbus.org. We think you should too, and we promise to be less menacing about it!
... for now.

The world is uncertain and scary right now, and I truly have nothing to say that feels genuinely helpful or well thought out.
But I do have a whole lot of silliness to offer. @DesertBus starts tomorrow and I'm stoked to be part of such an awesome cause.

What I will say is Desert Bus for Hope starts in two days, where we are raising money to better Children's lives. If you need a weeklong distraction from *gestures wildly around*, you could do a lot worse.

So here's the deal. If we raise a Desert Buck ($22,805) before this years start, each shift will receive a special food related treat at some point during the week. Here is what each shift is positioned to get.
⚠️DONATIONS ARE NOW OPEN.⚠️
From this point forward, you're in control of how long we're driving. Every dollar donated to @CPCharity works toward adding more hours to the timer, which starts ticking down on November 8th.

Fun morning observation: with how much of my work requires chasing down an image asset to pair with posts, I rarely do it for personal posts these days.
I used to take photos of every happening at shows and friend hangouts. I now take more time cherishing them without "proof".
