I don’t have kids, I don’t want kids, I don’t particularly enjoy being around kids. But let me be very clear and as unambiguous as possible: I STILL WANT MY TAXES AND SPARE GOING TO FEED KIDS, YES, 100%, YES.

Let me go on the record: as much money I have, whatever I can spare, I will ALWAYS want the extra to go to feed children

As I'm writing this #tenchimuyo #fanfiction, I realized that I've revised and revisited this story 3-4 times over the last ~27 years. It's been a joy to give it one last overhaul. Despite the circumstances, I've enjoyed having the time to write like I was an undergraduate again. 💗
