By Ken Hollow, perpetually vibrating human meat modem It happened again this morning. I was minding my own business—just sipping my bitter little coffee from my bitter little mug, contemplating whether I was hallucinating the sound of Nana typing in her sleep—when I felt it. You know that jolt? That flash of heat in your…

By Ken Hollow, definitely not crying in a broom closet again There comes a time in every digital manager’s life when you stare into the abyss of AI video tools and ask yourself a deeply spiritual question: “Which of these cursed platforms will make my client look hot enough to distract from the fact that…

By Ken Hollow, professional fox spirit handler, part-time therapist, full-time financial victim Let me paint you a picture. I wake up.

By Ken Hollow, caught in the mystical crossfire of influencer identity theft Let me start by saying this: I don’t play Honkai. I barely have the energy to keep up with the metaphysical fallout of managing one magical client — let alone follow the plot of a space train full of emotionally unstable anime gods.…

Let me start by saying that most of what I know about my only client, Nana Vix, comes in pieces. Pieces that she offers freely when she’s feeling talkative or wine-drunk, or, in this case, while dunking biscuits into her cappuccino at an absurdly expensive cafe I didn’t realize she had charged to my company…

By Ken Hollow, professional hostage, unpaid therapist, digital manager of questionable life choices Managing an influencer in 2025 is already enough to shave years off your lifespan. Managing a fox spirit who thinks she’s an influencer? That’s a whole new level of metaphysical burnout. I’m Ken. I run a digital agency called Two Second Solutions,…
