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”
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”
Cat Mom
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”
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”
