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.

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.

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 had fallen behind its mother, and I saw its pale figure as I was screeching toContinue reading “Near Deer Experience”
Give Fucks
September 5th, 2019 I’mma shout this real loud for all the cool kids slouching in the back of the bus: Caring about things and people is the most attractive quality a person can have. I know when you’re young it doesn’t seem like it, because caring about stuff is lame and you are desperate toContinue reading “Give Fucks”
Tell Me Something Good
August 28th, 2019 What makes an artist special is obvious to everyone but the artist him- or herself. This applies to all people. I read this in an article the other night and the words have been rattling inside me ever since. Right before I read this, I was actually talking about someone I know,Continue reading “Tell Me Something Good”
Don’t Let Them Take Your Light
August 24th, 2019 Don’t let them take your light. Two weekends ago, I was at a convention and met a lot of awesome people. I met a couple who were incredibly nice and they were really interested in what I do. One of them gave me a call a week ago and was very complimentary.Continue reading “Don’t Let Them Take Your Light”
