May 15th, 2026 “Wow, it went so fast!” This is the most common response I receive when I tell someone that I graduate from school this month. And, with all due respect, this has not been my experience at all. No, this has been two of the longest years of my life, in the veryContinue reading “Not So Fast: My Time At DCTC”

Undone: My Graduation Speech
May 7th, 2026 Whoa! My heart is bursting. A massive and sincere thank you to everyone who came out to Commencement and supported me tonight; I love you all so much. A wonderful evening and every single person I saw and talked to was so lovely. My speech went fine, but! A whole page wasContinue reading “Undone: My Graduation Speech”
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”
Walk A Way
April 24th, 2026 My dog Marvel is a terrible walking partner. She takes forever. Marvel sees a tree. She approaches it and stops us completely, disrupting our walk. This forces me to take in my surroundings. I notice for the first time how blue the sky is today. Some geese fly overhead and land onContinue reading “Walk A Way”
Dreaming of Denmark
April 22nd, 2026 I’ve been dreaming about Denmark. Years ago, I took a DNA test and it confirmed a lot of what I knew: Norwegian (what up lefse), German (natürluch), a little Irish (obvs), and British. But it also revealed that I had strong Danish genes, which is delightful to me: LEGO and I shareContinue reading “Dreaming of Denmark”
The Loudest Crickets
April 8th, 2026 I don’t like making these posts but I also have to be loud to compensate for the cowards who are suspiciously silent now; the cowards who put this madman into office. I guess there are people who still need to hear this so here it is: throughout human history, the man whoContinue reading “The Loudest Crickets”
Quality
March 31, 2026 Eventually you will be unable to give any of yourself to this world. I don’t mean to say this as a way to plunge you into a cold existential void. If anything, I want this to be a splash of cool water on your face, a reminder. Human life is hard. FrictionContinue reading “Quality”
bored/lonely/stupid
February 9th, 2026 As a writer and an artist (and enrolled student) I get asked about my opinion on A.I. every single day. I want to share a slice of how I feel about it with you, but I have to start with a shameful admission: I recently missed a deadline. If you know me,Continue reading “bored/lonely/stupid”
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?”
And you know we’re on each other’s team
January 10th, 2026 I wrote something insane last night. Like, the kind of essay that could cost me my job, lose me hundreds of followers, inspire wellness checks. It was unhinged, full of rage and despair, my words as vindictive and cutting as a pair of scissors laced with cyanide. It was actually pretty fuckingContinue reading “And you know we’re on each other’s team”
