November 12th, 2024 Do you want to hear something super annoying? I’ve been a vegetarian for a week. Am I going to try to convince you to join me? Heck no. Do I still want to talk about it? You bet. Here’s what happened. You all know I love animals. So dang much. I gotContinue reading “Veggie Tale”

C is for Community
November 11th, 2024 What the A.A. program and hanging out with other writers has taught me about the core of any good community, and how we could use those lessons to work together (even if we don’t agree with one another).
Twin Cities Con 2024
November 10th, 2024 It’s been said by people way smarter than I am that we should “find community” this week and be with each other. Twin Cities Con couldn’t have happened at a better time. (A special thank you to the peerless TCC gang who make this show one of my favorite weekends of theContinue reading “Twin Cities Con 2024”
It’s TCC Time!
November 7th, 2024 I can’t believe it’s here, but this weekend is the fourth annual Twin Cities Con at the Minneapolis Convention Center! I have a table (you’ll find me at G7 in artist’s alley), I’ll have my books and what’s left of my indomitable spirit, and I’ll be doing two panels, one each onContinue reading “It’s TCC Time!”
Bye Bye Bye
November 6th, 2024 Oh, boy. Woof. After a tumultuous few days (though, let’s be honest, it’s really been years), starting tomorrow I will be blocking specific people from my social media accounts. It’s not a small amount. Before I do that, however, I want to explain myself and give you a chance to read it.Continue reading “Bye Bye Bye”

The Day After Tomorrow
November 4th, 2024 As anxious as I am for tomorrow, I’m even more anxious for another day. The day after tomorrow. By that I mean that all of this doesn’t end when the last ballot is counted. When we say this is an election like no other, it’s not hyperbole, or the political version ofContinue reading “The Day After Tomorrow”
Inktober 2024
November 2nd, 2024 My Illustrator class had us participate in #Inktober this year! We only had to choose eight prompts, but I had a blast, putting a Pokémon spin on my picks. Before this year, I rarely ever used Illustrator, self-teaching myself Photoshop to get any and every project done. Learning it (and especially theContinue reading “Inktober 2024”
The Anti-Hero
October 21st, 2024 It’s me. Hi. I’m the enemy within. It’s me. It is really interesting to me how failing to address alienation in this country has exponentially produced more alienation. Allow me to explain? One the reasons social and political experts have given for the rise of Donald Trump is the alienation so manyContinue reading “The Anti-Hero”
Four Years / Natural
October 16th, 2024 If you feel a little lonely, you’re not alone in that, and it’s natural to feel. My mom made sure I knew that. She’s been gone four years today. My dad got married last weekend. It was a beautiful day. I was the minister of their wedding. I got a lot ofContinue reading “Four Years / Natural”
