I&#8217;m working on my computer science major and psychology minor. I&#8217;m from the area, but lived in Michigan for a while before going back to school. I like drawing, video games, and music. I&#8217;ve been around the U.S. for gaming tournaments and concerts. I work at an eSports lounge in Missouri. I love animals and grew up on a farm, but right now I just have my 1 dog, Marnie, with my partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For social media, I use some Twitter, Tiktok, Bluesky, and Discord, but I mostly just follow stuff for the games I play or art. I talk to people through Snapchat a decent amount, although most of the actual pictures I send are just of my dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"817\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/hum230sp26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/01\/Snapchat-1244213101-817x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4193\" style=\"width:201px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/hum230sp26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/01\/Snapchat-1244213101-817x1024.jpg 817w, https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/hum230sp26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/01\/Snapchat-1244213101-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/hum230sp26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/01\/Snapchat-1244213101-768x962.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/hum230sp26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/01\/Snapchat-1244213101-1226x1536.jpg 1226w, https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/hum230sp26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/01\/Snapchat-1244213101-1635x2048.jpg 1635w, https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/hum230sp26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/01\/Snapchat-1244213101-676x847.jpg 676w, https:\/\/iris.siue.edu\/hum230sp26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/01\/Snapchat-1244213101-scaled.jpg 2043w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 817px) 100vw, 817px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Josh.
