I just released my biggest deep-dive essay to date, which you should read if you:

  • Love K-pop

  • Appreciate the cinema of a good music video

  • Love decoding and finding Easter eggs in The TXT Universe

  • Appreciate some philosophy in the pop-culture commentary that you read

  • Want to think about classic literature (Peter Pan, The Little Prince) in an entirely new light

  • Want to support and uplift independent writers :)
