HOMESICK GHOSTS KEEP YOU AWAKE

For my thirteenth year on tumblr i want to tell you that i am alive and well! i survived childhood and now have a digital archive of feelings and angst that i can scroll through until all the data is wiped.

I wonder how many of you are active! thank you for being there for me when i was 13, 16, 18. Its hard to be anonymous on the internet now-- i think about how teenagers dont have that now.

Anyway, I'm making a film! its a coming of age story about two friends who reconnect in adulthood to unearth a physical memory from themselves. Its queer and gory and made for you if you had a very online childhood.

Throw me a dollar on kickstarter if you feel compelled :) it would really help me out

I take that back. I take my body back. I take back everything that ever made me.
