August 16th, 2026 Hey! I have a weird question to ask you! Apparently, I’m the type who just wants to keep learning stuff: I’m now enrolled and working through a course to earn a certification in meditation teaching. This is a practice that’s become an important part of my life and I want to beContinue reading “Meditation Students Wanted”

Spider-Man (and Men)
July 30th, 2026 The new Spider-Man film got me all up in my feels (and tears) today; I want to write a little about why it was so emotional for me (while trying not to spoil it, promise). It’s no secret that Peter Parker is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. IfContinue reading “Spider-Man (and Men)”
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?”
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”
The Ends of the Earth
September 1st, 2025 There’s a trend, but it’s not new; it’s as old as internet time (was there anything before?). It’s the idea of sharing something that absolutely does not need to be shared, in order to signal to others what tribe or political feed you subscribe to. There’s a version of this making theContinue reading “The Ends of the Earth”
A Little Less Alone
August 28th, 2025 I live in Minnesota, so the morning after a horrific tragedy I wasn’t surprised to open social media and see so much ugly. (A lot of this ugly coming from so-called Christians, who have spent the last decade showing all of us, including their Jesus, who they really are and what theyContinue reading “A Little Less Alone”
Confidence & Perspective
May 7th, 2025 Howdy, y’all. I have an art gallery this weekend at Mind’s Eye Comics in the Burnsville Center that you should totally check out; you should also check out this video where I talk about confidence (and the lack of it), perspective as we grow, and how my gallery is a fight againstContinue reading “Confidence & Perspective”
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”
EQ: Emotional Intelligence
January 6th, 2025 If you’ve been around me in the past week and a half, there’s little doubt you had to hear me ramble on and on about emotional intelligence; I just can’t stop thinking about it. That’s because I watched a Big Think video with Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and author of five booksContinue reading “EQ: Emotional Intelligence”
A Dream of Tin & Eternity: Change, or Die
December 12th, 2023 On Saturday, I celebrated a sobriety milestone, but it was also another anniversary: I released A Dream of Tin & Eternity exactly a year ago, on December 9th, 2022. I joked (kind of) that I wanted December 9th to be more than just a reminder of what a piece of shit IContinue reading “A Dream of Tin & Eternity: Change, or Die”
