Oak—a Black, medium-light-brown-skinned, masc-of-center, 30-something freelance whore, creator, writer, and educator—takes a break from grading papers at a coffee shop to capture themself reflecting the light of the winter afternoon sun. their black-donned figure occupies the right side of the vertical crop as they gaze to viewer left with a chill comportment. the sun illuminates their weary eyes, full lips, black chin whiskers, the right side of their high-cheeked face, and the white headphones resting over their right ear. there is a window behind Oak featuring a decal of an ice cream cone with red and green scoops on top. the sky outside the window is blue and cloudless
a snap of the beard is worth two of the bush
