[the passage:]
The rest of my day has exactly the same vibe. Man, I swear I'm not usually this forgetful or stupid! To sum it up, the unfortunate Top 3:
3) I get a D on my English paper, which I worked really fucking hard on!
2) New seating arrangements in French 3 has me now sitting next to Paulie's crazy ex— by which I mean she actually stalked him and caused some major-ass drama —and this arrangement is all for group projects which means I have to work with her, too. Yay!
1) And to top it off, I'm now wearing sweaty-ass gym shorts I shoulda taken home a week ago because I sat in chocolate pudding during lunch. Some kids still call me Tinkles from an incident that happened years ago, I didn't need to add Poopsy or Shitter to my roster of crude nicknames.

[end of passage, start of the drawing description:]
A drawing of my character Ryan, a teenage boy from the 2000s in a standing leaning pose against the "wall of text" with his arms crossed and his head look tilting down and over at the "wall". I didn't draw the face, but he has light skin with dark, short hair centered in the middle, and patchy facial hair and visible body hair over his arms, legs, and peeking out from under his shirt; a strand of neon green hangs the opposite way on his forehead. He is wearing a dark green tank top that says "Some Band" but only "Ome" is visible, greenish-gray cargo shorts, dark gray sketchers-like sneakers with the giant S. He is also wearing a pair of pink over-the-ear headphones with a cat logo on the earcuff—a gift from Paulie, and two beaded necklaces, the longer one is brown, the shorter one is supposed to also be from Paulie.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nx2xvjyw2anbn37n4v563zaq/bafkreidr5i4snjcvoqsrwu5rru2xqhqoqtfoltnyy24ihksi4b3r63mn3y)
![A "concept board" for the story Continuum 1: DISUNION, a novel of ~88,000 words by JJ Robinson II.
A matrix of murder, treachery, and betrayal on a blue-green field, a volcanic eruption piercing clouds above, a village and its fields along a canal, a frail aircraft over open ocean, an giant extinct pterodactyl, a nuclear explosion.
