December 1st, 2019 Let’s talk about family. Not just the normal, DNA type. All kinds of family. The holidays mean a lot of different things to different people, and that’s mostly because of family and how you define it; how much you have, or don’t have, the strengths of those bonds and qualities of thoseContinue reading “We Are Family”

With Great Power, Comes Great Empathy
November 23rd, 2019 Kid at the party tonight: “Hey, um, Spider-Man. I have a question for you. Can I ask you something?” Me: “Anything. What’s up, buddy?” Kid: “I was playing your game at home and I was wondering… What happened to your parents?” Me: “Oh. Hm… my parents were in a plane crash whenContinue reading “With Great Power, Comes Great Empathy”
Be Here Now
November 6th, 2019 There will always be people there to remind you of who and what you used to be. Someone who, instead of celebrating your achievements of the moment, will tell you how you would have previously failed. Someone who will mention how you used to act as opposed to how you’re behaving rightContinue reading “Be Here Now”
To Us
October 25th, 2019 This is a shout out (and a lift up) to the crazy people like me: to those of you who have collaborative hearts, but have found that in order to make any of your dreams a reality, you have to do it yourself. It doesn’t matter what your dream is, either. YouContinue reading “To Us”
Save Me
October 21st, 2019 You can’t save everyone. And, some days, it feels like you can’t save anyone. When you make it to the other side of certain hardships or experiences, you find yourself wanting to share how you did it in the hopes that you can help another human. That maybe you can prevent aContinue reading “Save Me”
Open Line
October 10th, 2019 Bad vibes in Minnesota right now. But I see good vibes online right now; post after post about mental health awareness, and the normalization of this kind of discussion is something I am passionately for. In fact: it deeply informs my work today. Here is my pitch for The Weirdos: this isContinue reading “Open Line”
Best. Day. Ever.
October 7th, 2019 This may be one of the worst days of her life, but she has had an amazing life so far so everything is relative.
Be Stupid
September 22nd, 2019 This post is just for me. I’m putting it here in case I ever forget and I need to find it. Everyone has their ineffable qualities that make them who they are. Everybody knows somebody who, when you’re asked why you like them, you sigh and say, “I don’t know. There’s justContinue reading “Be Stupid”
Do You Believe In Magic?
September 17th, 2019 People are fucking magic. It feels weird to feel compelled to make a post about this, but it so often seems like we live in a world where all we do is complain about each other. Our friends, our families, our co-workers, people we’ve never even met. If you talk to someoneContinue reading “Do You Believe In Magic?”
Miracle
September 11th, 2019 Keep going until the miracle happens. I hear this or minor variations of this all the time with the company I keep. It’s an abstract thing; a mysterious phrase that makes me want it every time I hear it. It basically means: don’t quit. Not if what you’re doing matters. Even ifContinue reading “Miracle”
