One year ago today I wrote this space poem inspired by @hankgreen talking about the moments before the Big Bang. The unintentional singsong way Hank said that up/down side/side bit sounded poetic to me, so I stitched his video and expanded those two lines into a whole rhyming poem about the “time before events.”
This post changed everything for me. It introduced me to a new, wider audience on TiKTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and it marked a shift in the type of stuff I wanted to create and share. I had previously only been posting my music online, but after sharing this poem, I started branching out into more poetry, sketch comedy, thought experiments, curiosity songs/parodies, and all the other things that make up this page today. I love creating on this app, and I feel so lucky to have found my way to each and every person reading this now. Thank you for coming along for the ride!
