My Active Sites Note

The sites I'm currently most active on are: YouTube & Neocities. I also occasionally check emails.

I might change these links occasionally as sites come and go. I try out different ones to see which work for me.

I have a few other accounts I reserved but haven't used much. (ex. Twitch, Reddit)

If you see me or my work on other places, it's probably not from me. Just giving a heads up!
