we're launching the సోది షాపు

a fully unnecessary pharmacy & general store for our సోది janalu — drops, lozenges, coils, davara sets and tees to cure (or cause) too much సోది. reasonable rates, refunds in vibes.

i write to figure things out.
no schedule, no niche,
just whatever won't leave me alone.

[ since 2022 · still going ]

hi, i'm L.

i keep this corner of the internet between everything else. i write essays when something refuses to leave me alone. usually about money, power, faith, or the small ordinary things nobody writes down.

i cook, i fall down internet rabbit holes for sport (fluffy disapproves), and this september i’m moving to lancaster to study and figure out the next version of things.

సోది janalu

the unnecessary people i can't stop noticing.

a recurring field log of సోది janalu: the yappers, the show-offs, the indifferent. observed in the wild, written down without mercy.
