July 30th, 2026 The new Spider-Man film got me all up in my feels (and tears) today; I want to write a little about why it was so emotional for me (while trying not to spoil it, promise). It’s no secret that Peter Parker is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. IfContinue reading “Spider-Man (and Men)”

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”
Maybe I’m Crazy
January 16th, 2026 What’s crazy to me is that Jesus Christ was killed by the state for embodying and promoting such traitorous and terroristic behaviors as loving thy neighbor, no matter who that neighbor is. What’s crazy to me is I have spent my whole life listening to people tell me that they needed theirContinue reading “Maybe I’m Crazy”
Cat Mom
December 16th, 2025 I may have mentioned this once or twice before but I am a very anxious person. I am a tragically empathetic sponge (which my drinking used to magically squeeze) and a standard-issue artist; I feel too much and when the world feels like too much my brain crosses streets like a squirrel.Continue reading “Cat Mom”
Twin Cities Con 2025
November 9th, 2025 Wow. I know I go on and on about how much I adore this community, but it’s only because this community has so much to adore. What a surprising and delightful, thrilling and exhausting weekend. My eyes, mind and nervous system are shut down for repairs as I type this letter toContinue reading “Twin Cities Con 2025”
Sleeping Dogs
March 24th, 2025 It’s no surprise I’m stressed out (because I live on this planet and this planet does not have its shit together whatsoever); I’m ambitious yet anxious, careful yet crazy, busy yet broke. I was walking past the bed and saw Marvel sleeping under the sun on our sheets, and I will neverContinue reading “Sleeping Dogs”
Block
January 19th, 2025 It’s funny, trying to unlearn the ways the internet has broken our brains and reverse the damage life has done to our hearts. The world feels like it’s turning faster than normal lately, and I’m not really writing about any of it. Nobody is asking me to, but then again, nobody everContinue reading “Block”
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”
Let Go
March 15th, 2024 My fingers are locked tight around the steering wheel. I imagine all the ways this could go wrong at any moment, the reheated leftovers of PTSD, driving a formally stolen car that tried to kill me last year. I wonder if I can get fast enough that my car could lift upContinue reading “Let Go”
trouble sleeping
March 7th, 2024 I know I’ve said this before, but I’m tired. Mostly, I’m tired of pretending. I like Joe Biden. I’m not in love with him. He’s far from perfect. He’s not my whole personality. In fact, he’s not even part of it. I have a lot of my own bad ideas and bigContinue reading “trouble sleeping”
