February 23rd, 2026 It feels impossible to believe that in just about two months, I’ll be graduating from school with my AAS in Graphic Design. This unexpected and wildly rewarding part of my journey is coming to end. That being said: I am currently and actively weighing my future. I’m bookmarking jobs and workplaces ofContinue reading “Now Hireable”

We The People
January 28th, 2026 When’s the last time you read the Declaration of Independence? This isn’t a flex or a question of condescension; I don’t actually know if I had ever read it and our Constitution front-to-back in my life until this week. (I found this cute pocket version at my local Barnes & Noble.) ItContinue reading “We The People”
How Could They Understand?
January 25th, 2026 I barely sleep, I’m stressed out all the time and I’m not sure how any of us can be expected to function in any capacity; never mind that the constant need to feel functional is just a side effect of the late stage capitalism. First of all: hi to all the newContinue reading “How Could They Understand?”
Closings Time
January 17th, 2026 This is my local Pancake House. This sign was posted at their Burnsville location today, on a Saturday, one of the busiest days of the restaurant week. They’re closed. I have found over the years that it’s impossible to reach some folks through their hearts because there are those who suffer fromContinue reading “Closings Time”
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”
I Was A Human
January 7th, 2026 Goddamn it. I try to be a voice of reason and sense, of kindness and decency for the people in my life who are close to me; but what happened today, and what has been happening in this country for years under the watch and thumb of the man responsible for thisContinue reading “I Was A Human”
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”
Maple Island: Out Now
November 7th, 2025 My 14th book, Maple Island, is out today. I am a lot of things right now (see the video) but, above all, I am grateful. P.S. See you all at Twin Cities Con this weekend and please please please watch the wonderful podcast I did with my friends, linked below.
Fallcon 2025
October 11th, 2025 “I love this community so much.” I lost count of how many times I heard people say this over the weekend, but what’s one more: I love this community so much. Thank you for having lunch with me, for inventing candy tea with me, for talking Alien and Dune and Tron withContinue reading “Fallcon 2025”
Mark Your Calendars!
August 18th, 2025 It’s getting real. Maple Island, my 14th book, will be officially released this November. I’ve spent nearly all of my sobriety in labor with a story about a society of vampires and I’m finally ready for you to experience this baby. I’m going to be doing things a little differently this time;Continue reading “Mark Your Calendars!”
