January 28th, 2020 Hello, my fabulous Squirrels. So: you see these everyday. A digital suitcase placed out to raise funds for a work or a person. If you decide to keep on scrolling, I 100% understand and have been that person many times, too. But. But, if you believe in me, or the work IContinue reading “Kickstart Me Up”

Don’t Be a Kelsey
January 22nd, 2020 This is a post on bullying. And it’s inspired by The Bachelor. And it actually makes a good point. I promise. I love a lot of things, and I especially love a lot of pop culture things. And my entertainment adoration causes me to think too much about them, but the endContinue reading “Don’t Be a Kelsey”
While Supplies Last
January 18th, 2020 So, I had to make a tough decision yesterday, which is both bittersweet and exciting: I will not be doing any further printings of any individual issues of The Weirdos. What does this mean? If you already own a copy or copies: congratulations! You own a relatively rare piece of my work!Continue reading “While Supplies Last”
Be You
January 16th, 2020 My dog is a naughty dog. She isn’t trained, she’s very excitable and she just loves everybody too much. But when I think of how I would feel about her if she was someone else’s dog, I know I would absolutely adore seeing her every time. I would miss her if sheContinue reading “Be You”
Be Here
January 14th, 2020 If there is any good in my life right now, any light coming from the holes I have poked in my jar, I have to accept that exactly everything that has happened so far had to happen for that good to exist. And this is how I can relax my regret andContinue reading “Be Here”
Toothpicks
January 8th, 2020 When I was a kid, I didn’t know how to use a toothpick. I thought you scraped the wooden sliver across the surface of the teeth that people could see. It was a job I thought my tongue could do acceptably well, but adults used toothpicks so, hey, it was probably somethingContinue reading “Toothpicks”
My Top Ten Comics of the Decade
January 3rd, 2020 In a previous post about my favorite television series of the 2010’s, I mentioned that I don’t think I’m very qualified to be creating most or any of these best-of lists. But if there is just one list in the multiverse that I AM qualified for: this is it. In alphabetical order,Continue reading “My Top Ten Comics of the Decade”
Big Fish & Potted Plants
January 2nd, 2020 I’ve had two ideas in my head all day: The concept that fish only grow to the size of their tanks. And the phrase, “Bloom where you’re planted” (which I saw last night on Instagram). So first, the fish thing: I was thinking of how it applied to people who are consideredContinue reading “Big Fish & Potted Plants”
Marshmallows
December 31st, 2019 I have a bad habit. (Okay, I know you’re reading this and thinking, “Um, I’ve met you, and you have way more than one bad habit.” Yes, I know I do, Karen, but this post is about one particular habit so just chill out.) It’s not a harmful habit, but it’s aContinue reading “Marshmallows”
The Best Television (imho) of the 2010’s
December 30th, 2019 The Best Television (imho) of the 2010’s. As everyone with an opinion (hello, internet!) gathers to share their best-of lists of the decade, I am going to be uncharacteristically reserved; I don’t think I have a lot to add to the conversation when it comes to topics such as music or film.Continue reading “The Best Television (imho) of the 2010’s”
