May 15th, 2026 “Wow, it went so fast!” This is the most common response I receive when I tell someone that I graduate from school this month. And, with all due respect, this has not been my experience at all. No, this has been two of the longest years of my life, in the veryContinue reading “Not So Fast: My Time At DCTC”

Undone: My Graduation Speech
May 7th, 2026 Whoa! My heart is bursting. A massive and sincere thank you to everyone who came out to Commencement and supported me tonight; I love you all so much.

Star Wars Day 2026
May 4th, 2026 Happy Star Wars Day! I have a million photos from a galaxy far, far away to choose from but I want to share this selfie from one of my favorite ever Star Wars experiences with my favorite ever Jedi (then not-a-Jedi, spoiler). Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano, was at TwinContinue reading “Star Wars Day 2026”
Head-On
May 1st, 2026 It’s my birthday (again) and I’m one of those people who don’t hate it; I know too well that not everyone gets to grow old like they should and I adore every minute I’m here (even those minutes I don’t adore). On this day I usually reflect on my most recent journeyContinue reading “Head-On”
Walk A Way
April 24th, 2026 My dog Marvel is a terrible walking partner. She takes forever. Marvel sees a tree. She approaches it and stops us completely, disrupting our walk. This forces me to take in my surroundings. I notice for the first time how blue the sky is today. Some geese fly overhead and land onContinue reading “Walk A Way”
Dreaming of Denmark
April 22nd, 2026 I’ve been dreaming about Denmark. Years ago, I took a DNA test and it confirmed a lot of what I knew: Norwegian (what up lefse), German (natürluch), a little Irish (obvs), and British. But it also revealed that I had strong Danish genes, which is delightful to me: LEGO and I shareContinue reading “Dreaming of Denmark”
Guthrie Theater Trip, Part 2
April 11th, 2026 I’m obsessed with the Guthrie. Not lowkey. Like, the highest key. Last year, our Creative Arts & Writing Club took a trip to the theater to take in a tour and see Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap. As a former drama club president, it was easily one of the highlights of my first yearContinue reading “Guthrie Theater Trip, Part 2”
The Loudest Crickets
April 8th, 2026 I don’t like making these posts but I also have to be loud to compensate for the cowards who are suspiciously silent now; the cowards who put this madman into office. I guess there are people who still need to hear this so here it is: throughout human history, the man whoContinue reading “The Loudest Crickets”
Quality
March 31, 2026 Eventually you will be unable to give any of yourself to this world. I don’t mean to say this as a way to plunge you into a cold existential void. If anything, I want this to be a splash of cool water on your face, a reminder. Human life is hard. FrictionContinue reading “Quality”
Let’s Commence
March 26th, 2026 So! I just learned this afternoon that I have been selected to be one of the commencement speakers at the 2026 DCTC graduation ceremony in May. This is an absolute honor and a total full-circle moment and I could use your help! I already have a draft. (In fact, a draft wasContinue reading “Let’s Commence”
