Moonlight, streetlights


Reflections return to the source of the light. By definition.

Are there wolves on the moon, or perched on streetlights?


Well that’s an interesting title given he uprooted his family for political [adjacent] reasons


Just wanna say keep at it! You’re getting interviews and sometimes it just takes time for the stars to align into an offer.
