Fall Tour 2026

August 30th, 2026 I can’t wait for fall and I have infinite reasons, including but not limited to: hoodie weather, brilliant foliage, crisp air, football, pumpkin anything, spooky everything, and I’m getting out of the house to visit two of my favorite conventions and hang out with all of you! Fall Tour 2026 kicks offContinue reading “Fall Tour 2026”

Don’t Think Twice

June 7th, 2026 As a born-and-raised Minnesotan and a self-taught musician, I made a solemn teenage vow to myself to see two artists live in concert: Prince and Bob Dylan. I saw Prince in 2004; a manager at Chili’s had an extra ticket to one of his Musicology album release shows and invited little ol’Continue reading “Don’t Think Twice”

Guthrie Theater Trip, Part 2

April 11th, 2026 I’m obsessed with the Guthrie. Not lowkey. Like, the highest key. Last year, our Creative Arts & Writing Club took a trip to the theater to take in a tour and see Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap. As a former drama club president, it was easily one of the highlights of my first yearContinue reading “Guthrie Theater Trip, Part 2”

BPA State Leadership Conference 2026

March 8th, 2026 I participated in my first Business Professionals of America State Conference yesterday and it was a blast! I was definitely a theater kid in high school (ahem, drama club president here) so, between that and always having a job, I didn’t really have time for any other clubs or organizations. When IContinue reading “BPA State Leadership Conference 2026”

bored/lonely/stupid

February 9th, 2026 As a writer and an artist (and enrolled student) I get asked about my opinion on A.I. every single day. I want to share a slice of how I feel about it with you, but I have to start with a shameful admission: I recently missed a deadline. If you know me,Continue reading “bored/lonely/stupid”

We The People

January 28th, 2026 When’s the last time you read the Declaration of Independence? This isn’t a flex or a question of condescension; I don’t actually know if I had ever read it and our Constitution front-to-back in my life until this week. (I found this cute pocket version at my local Barnes & Noble.) ItContinue reading “We The People”

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?”
