April 30th, 2020 I’ve been asked about my obsession with squirrels, and I have to say: it’s everything. The aesthetic. The personality. The community. The particular and peculiar ways they create uncontrollable chaos in a world that demands control. But the biggest thing is their lesson. Every day, somewhere, a squirrel decides to cross aContinue reading “Squirrel Life”

Purple Rain
April 21st, 2020 Four years ago, something sad happened. Something crazy happened. Something amazing happened. Four years ago, Prince passed away. I miss that dude. Especially as I remember today. His fearless and peerless innovation. His boundless talent. His pancake-making skills (which I never had the pleasure of eating but I have HEARD, man). FourContinue reading “Purple Rain”
Sober Distancing
April 11th, 2020 This is a shout out to my beautiful peeps who are dealing with the same stuff that we’re all dealing with, but also doing it sober. We live in a world (and social media climate) that actively promotes and adamantly believes in the idea that to get through things — big thingsContinue reading “Sober Distancing”
Thank You.
March 17th, 2020 Weird world. I was waiting until I could write something thoughtful and meaningful about everything that has happened over the last few days, and then I realized that waiting for anything is stupid, so here we are. First of all: thank you. I say thank you a lot, and I mean itContinue reading “Thank You.”
Look
March 10th, 2020 When you’re gripped by a dark thing, common wisdom dictates that you should take a look in the mirror. Stare into the eyes of who you are and what you’ve become to reach an mutual understanding. For me, the recognition and clarity never came through a mirror. It comes through photographs. PicturesContinue reading “Look”
I Heart Tomicon
February 29th, 2020 Tomicon, the convention I attended today alongside some of my favorite people, was low-key one of the best conventions I’ve been a part of. And that’s not hyperbole or an exaggeration; allow me to explain why. Immediately, Hastings is a splash of cold, stunning water when you arrive. It’s the kind ofContinue reading “I Heart Tomicon”
Home & Garden
February 19th, 2020 The other night over dinner, we were having a conversation that led into how I uncomfortably deal with specific kinds of attention. It’s something that I have thought about for years, but had never really put into words until now. When I quit drinking in 2017, I quickly lost somewhere between twentyContinue reading “Home & Garden”
Waterwatereverywhere
January 31st, 2020 I see clouds. A lot of them. I see them literally; people keep telling me the reason January has felt so long is because we haven’t seen the sun. And I see other kinds of clouds, too; a news story on the rise of suicides last night, more and more people inContinue reading “Waterwatereverywhere”
Don’t Be a Kelsey
January 22nd, 2020 This is a post on bullying. And it’s inspired by The Bachelor. And it actually makes a good point. I promise. I love a lot of things, and I especially love a lot of pop culture things. And my entertainment adoration causes me to think too much about them, but the endContinue reading “Don’t Be a Kelsey”
Be You
January 16th, 2020 My dog is a naughty dog. She isn’t trained, she’s very excitable and she just loves everybody too much. But when I think of how I would feel about her if she was someone else’s dog, I know I would absolutely adore seeing her every time. I would miss her if sheContinue reading “Be You”
