Men With(out) Fear

March 5th, 2025 I am (clearly) a massive fan of Daredevil; this photo was taken on one of my best friend’s wedding day. (No, he did not allow me to stand before the congregation like this, a missed opportunity in my opinion.) The new season just started on Disney+ and it is not only fuckingContinue reading “Men With(out) Fear”

The New Romantics: Author Notes

March 4th, 2025 After over a year of it living its own beautiful life in an anthology collection, I am so excited to be able to share this short story with a whole new audience. Namely: you. First, a little history: last year, my friend Jeri put together an amazing team of writers to createContinue reading “The New Romantics: Author Notes”

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”

Live From New York

February 16th, 2025 I’m an SNL fanatic. It has almost never been a popular thing to be or to say out loud. Even as the nerds had their revenge and became a force in popular culture, SNL has always been a target for haters, of which there are many. But I have always been aContinue reading “Live From New York”

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”

Flow Review

December 17th, 2024 As much as I like to participate in the popular culture conversation (and, boy, do I ever), I also like to highlight stuff that you would probably miss otherwise. Even though it’s been the talk of the animation world, collecting awards and getting nominated for a Golden Globe, most people I’ve talkedContinue reading “Flow Review”

Giveth & Taketh

December 16th, 2024 Wanna know how bad grocery prices are? I just spent $115 at Target this afternoon and have literally nothing to show for it. Sigh. Allow me to explain. This is a story about giving, taking, and how we decide what it means. I want you to know that as you read thisContinue reading “Giveth & Taketh”

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”

VII: The Phoenix

December 9th, 2024 Seven years ago today, I flamed out. My throat opened and drained the tiny bottle of sauvignon blanc from the trunk of my car and I decided it would be the last drink I would ever have. For then. For now. I don’t have to get into the rest in detail (itContinue reading “VII: The Phoenix”

Knife-work

November 19th, 2024 I work in an industry where people often complain on both sides of the table, and live in a world where that’s true at least a hundred times more, but I had two experiences last week in that work, in this world, that were wonderful, and I’m just going to write aboutContinue reading “Knife-work”
