April 16th, 2025 There is a lot going on in the world, and it’s difficult for me to pick up a single thread and follow it through in a meaningful way, especially when the people in charge insist on tangling every wire we own. I’m not about to start targeting every person on my feedContinue reading “Real Talk: Autism”

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”
Know Way
March 17th, 2025 How much do you think you know? And have you ever considered our individual knowledge (or lack thereof) as a significant reason for the tension and division in this country? I was savoring a wonderful article by Laura Kennedy a few weeks ago; it was a list of advice to the readerContinue reading “Know Way”
School Update: Spring Break ’25
February 26th, 2025 It’s only a week until spring break (holy cow!), so I thought I’d write another school update for anybody who wants to read it. This is a good one. Grab a cup of coffee or hot cocoa (it’s on me) and let’s chat for a minute. So: I haven’t quit! Honest! AndContinue reading “School Update: Spring Break ’25”
MAGA Math
January 28th, 2025 MAGA. We did it, y’all. This is actually brilliant. Do you remember when our stable genius told us during the pandemic that if we tested less people, we would have less cases of covid? That wasn’t untrue! This is the same applied principle: guys, eggs can’t be expensive if you can’t buyContinue reading “MAGA Math”
School’s Out For ’24
December 26th, 2024 Grades were released today. This is probably the last time I’ll ever be able to say this, but: I’m an A student this year! It’s not that I was a bad student when I was younger (though there are probably teachers who would respectfully disagree); I was definitely on the disruptive side,Continue reading “School’s Out For ’24”
Semester I
December 15th, 2024 Last night, I submitted my last project of the semester. I just did a semester of college! That’s one down, this time around. So: what did I learn? Turns out: a hell of a lot. College did not radicalize me, or even re-radicalize me. I have actually been rad most of myContinue reading “Semester I”

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”
Take a look, it’s in a book
October 14th, 2024 “Are you a reader?” I asked her. I always ask when people approach my table now. “Yes?” the woman said, her face distorted. I asked why it sounded like there was a question mark at the end of her answer. She said she was startled by the question. Doesn’t everyone like toContinue reading “Take a look, it’s in a book”
