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”

Goosebumps & Shivers
September 19th, 2025 I love learning about who and what inspires the people who inspire me. Which is ironic, because it always makes me feel bad about my own inspirations. I’ll read an article about a critically-beloved writer in NYC and they’ll say something like: “I grew up in an extremely cultured household. I had readContinue reading “Goosebumps & Shivers”
The Rules
September 10th, 2025 I don’t write about my dad as much as I do my mom; it’s not that he isn’t as important to me, but that he’s still here. Often, when I’m writing about her, I find it’s my attempt to lose as little of her as I can, like collecting stardust into aContinue reading “The Rules”
The Ends of the Earth
September 1st, 2025 There’s a trend, but it’s not new; it’s as old as internet time (was there anything before?). It’s the idea of sharing something that absolutely does not need to be shared, in order to signal to others what tribe or political feed you subscribe to. There’s a version of this making theContinue reading “The Ends of the Earth”
Everything I Ever Was
August 12th, 2025 Whenever I’m feeling spicy (and I’ve been very spicy this week [don’t act like you didn’t notice]), my ongoing recovery reminds me to reflect on myself and figure out why. Sometimes it’s a complex web of things, anxiety and doubt and my schedule and projects and the state of the world, butContinue reading “Everything I Ever Was”
Liberty & Justice
August 8th, 2025 This afternoon, I was doing my routine paid eavesdropping (you have no idea how much we know about you from the tea you spill freely and sloppily at your favorite establishments, but I will tell you right now, it’s more than you think). I generally hear clips and phrases out of context,Continue reading “Liberty & Justice”
Book Fair For Grown-Ups 2025
July 12th, 2025 So: the Book Fair For Grown-Ups by Inbound Brewing Co. happened today at the State Fair Education Building after going viral last year at their brewery. I thought it was such a neat idea and signed up immediately. Now: I do a lot of events. My expectations are always as follows: IContinue reading “Book Fair For Grown-Ups 2025”
The Mole on My Neck
July 8th, 2025 Last weekend, I was playing video games with a little kid (a little kid I know, not some random little kid) and between Mario Kart races he pointed at me and said, “You have a mole on your neck.” At first I thought he was being a dick. Like little kids canContinue reading “The Mole on My Neck”
Darkroom
May 31st, 2025 I’ve been wondering why life has felt so chaotic and fast lately and then realized I wasn’t writing much of it down. Not here. I haven’t been processing correctly. Instead of developing my memories and experiences in a quiet darkroom, investigating their details and exploring their mysteries as they slowly materialize, I’veContinue reading “Darkroom”
Live From New York
February 16th, 2025 I’m an SNL fanatic. It has almost never been a popular thing to be or to say out loud. Even as the nerds had their revenge and became a force in popular culture, SNL has always been a target for haters, of which there are many. But I have always been aContinue reading “Live From New York”
