Hello friends, family, and buddees, this is Mikavey's husband, @Jeff1pnt3. On May 29th, 2026, Mikavey entered into the arms of Heaven to behold the face of her savior, Jesus Christ. She suffered a hemmorhagic stroke on May 10th, and although she seemed to be getting better during her first week of recovery, the doctors were unequipped to deal with her muscular dystrophy.
I have never experienced a deeper sorrow than the one I have been carrying since the end of May. Even 1 month later, it is gut-wrenching to be writing this to you all. We were planning out how we would celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary at the end of July, and instead, I am now planning how we will celebrate her life. In spite of everything, I continue to hold onto the hope that I will see my Mika again, because that was the same hope she held onto as we drove her to the hospital on May 10th.
There are a number of projects that Mika left for me to finish, so I will continue to work on them until they come to fruition:
The first one will be an artbook+website compiling as much of her work as possible. I have always been so proud of my love's work, and I want to make sure it is both preserved and as accessible as possible.
Second will be working on her accessible fashion brand so that there would be more cute clothing and accessories available for others with mobility limitations like her own.
And the next one will be honoring her final wish for me when she was in the hospital- to finish The Nightwatch. The Nightwatch is not just a single project, but multiple projects spanning albums and video games. It's the story of us, and it's something we've both poured ourselves into since the day we met almost 7 years ago. I can promise you all just as I had promised her, The Nightwatch will be finished. There are quite a few more projects outside of the ones I have listed, but those are the only ones I feel comfortable sharing for now.
Thank you all for your love and support for my beautiful wife over the years. She had every right to be jaded because of her muscular dystophy, but she never was. If you had the opportunity to meet her, you would have known that Mika was one of the most beautiful and charitable souls on this earth. She never used her muscular dystrophy as an excuse, but instead sought to show others the same kindness and patience that she wished to see in the world. To put it simply, she was a 1 in 8 billion type of woman, and I am so proud to be her husband.
Our lives blossomed from the moment we met one another, and honoring her will be why I continue to create.
Thank you all for loving her, because she sure loved you.

A 12-year-old boy was swimming in a few feet of water off Alaska when an orca shot straight at him at full speed. It bumped his shoulder, then folded its body in half, turned, and swam back out to sea. The boy was unharmed. The researcher who described it said the orca realized at the last second that he was not food.
Wild orcas have killed zero humans in all the years people have kept records. Not one person, in any ocean, ever. The same animal, kept in a marine park tank, has killed four people.
They could if they wanted to. An orca can kill a blue whale, the biggest animal that has ever lived. Off South Africa, pods flip great white sharks upside down, hold them still until they stop moving, and eat the liver. The sharks leave those waters and stay away for up to a year.
What an orca will eat comes down to one thing: what its family taught it to hunt as a baby. Scientists have found at least ten different kinds of orca around the world, and each kind eats only a short list of foods. Some hunt only salmon. Some hunt only seals. One group near Antarctica eats just one kind of fish. A salmon-eating pod will swim right past a seal, because no one ever taught them to catch seals.
Baby orcas learn the family diet from their mothers and grandmothers, the same way you learned which things in your kitchen are food. This gets passed down for generations and almost never changes. Different kinds share the same water, ignore each other, and don't even breed with each other. Humans were never on a single one of those lists. We are just not something an orca's mother ever taught it to eat.
There is one exception on record. In 1972, a surfer off California was bitten hard enough to need more than 100 stitches. He was in a black wetsuit with sea lions swimming nearby. The orca let go the moment it realized its mistake and left.
And wild orcas do more than leave us alone. In a 2025 study, scientists recorded 34 separate times, over 20 years and in oceans all over the world, when wild orcas swam up to people and offered them food. Fish, birds, pieces of seal, a whole stingray, once a sea turtle. Each time, the orca dropped its catch next to the person and waited to see what they would do.
A story about someone trying to preserve real art in a world full of technological slop definitely has the potential to hit hard right now
Can’t wait to see this kid die horrifically
