🌿 Welcome to myles' garden!

👋🏼 Hey! I'm myles braithwaite and I have been alive for 39 years, 36 weeks, 4 days, 4 hours, and 5 minutes! This is my garden of ideas. A collection of thoughts, photos, and things I love.

📷 Recent photos

A pale blue gig poster stapled to a weathered wooden utility pole, showing a classic arched-back black cat with bushy tail, wide eyes, and a jagged toothy grin. Blocky pixel-font text reads "VERACUDA SCULPTURES" across the top. Bottom corners list "P.W.Y.C HOUNDSTOOTH" and "9PM JUNE 10TH." A sunlit street stretches behind — red brick house, streetcar tracks, scattered clouds.
