Welcome to “Plum Beans”: Plum (n): something choice or desirable Beans (n): a person's head or brain:

It’s an apropos/IYNKY eponymous name fashioned from Mr. Plumbean: The pink, bald, slightly shy protagonist in The Big Orange Splot, my favorite book as a child that I still continue to find meaning and inspiration from.

This is where I share what’s in my head. Some if it is just observations about culture. If you’re here, it’s because you chose to be here, which assuages my overwrought concerns with self-promotion.

Please pardon any grammatical errors or typos you may come across. A large reason my writing rarely leave Apple Notes or Word is because I have a lifelong struggle with achieving perfection in the last mile of with my writing. Due to this, I’ve unfortunately lost many, many unfinished works (notably when my work computer got bricked on the way out). So, this space is a raw and unfiltered glimpse into what I feel like I need to get out of my head sometimes. Perhaps you’ll see these imperfections add character and authenticity to my words.

And if after reading this you’ll take a dive in, know that I tend to write like a talk: with more words than I probably need. So, grab a cup of coffee, get cozy, and who knows, you might just stumble upon a thought that resonates with you. If so, I’d love to hear from you.
