June 11th, 2025 Let’s talk about immigration real quick. “Real quick” because I know how short your attention span is and I’ve been thinking about this so much lately that I can probably share in a few words. We can chat about the complex reasons citizens of a country feel the way they do aboutContinue reading “America’s Shadow”

Comments on the Comment Section
June 9th, 2025 The internet has done a really good job of making us feel really bad about the state of society and I’m going to try to simplify why while offering, I hope, a little sip of hope. There is one undeniable fact about any comment section on any social media page: It lowersContinue reading “Comments on the Comment Section”
SpringCon 2025
June 7th, 2025 Another SpringCon is in the books and I just wanted to give my gratitude to all the organizers, volunteers, attendees, and my fellow writers, artists, and vendors. You all are the best and I’m not just saying that; you’re kind, inspiring, and annoyingly talented. I took basically no photos today and that’sContinue reading “SpringCon 2025”
Weirdos Art Show!
May 10th, 2025 All my love to everyone who came to the Weirdos Art Show today. I had a lovely time. As an artist, I’ve always asked myself: could I fill a room? I was pleasantly surprised by the answers I found. I appreciate the shared coffee, baked goods and excellent conversation, and if weContinue reading “Weirdos Art Show!”

May 8th, 2025 As if you needed another reason to come to the Weirdos Art Show this Saturday: I’m doing a Gallery Giveaway!

Confidence & Perspective
May 7th, 2025 Howdy, y’all. I have an art gallery this weekend at Mind’s Eye Comics in the Burnsville Center that you should totally check out; you should also check out this video where I talk about confidence (and the lack of it), perspective as we grow, and how my gallery is a fight againstContinue reading “Confidence & Perspective”
This Is 40
May 1st, 2025 It’s my birthday today. I love my birthday. I’m awful like that. I also believe that you should cherish celebrating each one, because there will come a point in time when you cannot. That’s dark, but it’s my birthday. So let’s face facts: I’m supposed to be dead. I did all theContinue reading “This Is 40”
We Trained For This: Clarifying My Disappointment
April 19th, 2025 My book Theia is a proud part of a long lineage of literature that uses animals to speak truth about ourselves. Two of its biggest influences are two of my favorite books: Watership Down and Animal Farm. Due to the current state of our nation, I recently bought myself a new copyContinue reading “We Trained For This: Clarifying My Disappointment”
Summer Tour 2025
April 8th, 2025 You would think that, after how busy and actually crazy this past year has been, I would crack open a book and an ice cold A & W root beer, lay out on my favorite beach towel in the hot sand, and take it real easy this summer. That’s probably what IContinue reading “Summer Tour 2025”
Guthrie Trip
April 5th, 2025 I am forever a theater nerd. When I went back to school last fall, my past in theater emboldened me to seek out similar groups for my educational stay. When I joined the Creative Arts & Writing Club (and subsequently became its president five minutes later), we started talking events, and aContinue reading “Guthrie Trip”
