Possibly a cat. Often snarky, but striving for good vibes, even when I'm grumpy. Floridian My hot take: betraying our allies is a bad move.

Today is another writing day. I'm on draft two of my latest novel, and I feel the ending approaching. Disassociating from current events to focus on creativity has done wonders for my mental health. Have a lovely day!06 May 2025 11:55 +0000at://did:plc:naebtsfvdh4kdik22nixky7v/app.bsky.feed.post/3loit7wqy3s2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/aafror.bsky.social/post/3lo4cxgpqd22vGood morning, Bluesky. Good vibes and a pleasant day to you all. Never forget: there is more good in the world than evil. But you'll rarely hear about that in the news. Find your joy and embrace it.

The news is stressful, and social media can be great to blow off steam. It can also exacerbate anxiety sometimes. Don't neglect yourself. Engage in hobbies, go for a walk, or send a message to an old friend. Self-love is crucial to a balanced life. Great vibes to you all14 Apr 2025 15:17 +0000at://did:plc:naebtsfvdh4kdik22nixky7v/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmru7uiys22khttps://bsky.app/profile/aafror.bsky.social/post/3lmkcttp6fc2r(1) Wheel s3e7 was fun in many ways. The battle as written would require LotR film level budget, so it was shallow in that way, but still told the story. Some choices, I don’t know. Emotional, yet hard to swallow for a reader.
