An image featuring a photograph of me wearing my BFDI & Inanimate Insanity 2025 Tour T-shirt. Large lettering to the right reads “I’m going to NYC,” and text below reads, “…for the BFDI & II 2026 Tour! July 10, 2026; 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.; NYU Skirball. Come see me if you’re going tomorrow—and collect some free SWIMS stickers!” At the bottom-right are the SWIMS stickers I will be handing out, featuring (from left to right) Myles, Sam, Warren, Spencer, and Iris, respectively.

At the top-right is text that reads, “I AM NINETEEN / 2007–2026.”
