July 9th, 2020 Releasing a book this summer, of this year, has not been the most fun. I mean, let’s be honest: this year has not been the most fun. So moments like this — seeing my book on a shelf at one of my favorite shops, Mind’s Eye Comics — are little bubbles ofContinue reading “Pocket Universe Of Joy (Or, S.O.S.)”

Let’s Keep Talking
July 7th, 2020 This morning, I was scrolling and came across a local post by KARE 11 about supporting black businesses. The comment section was horrifying; it inspired me to write a very angry post (I hadn’t had my coffee yet) directed at the people who still insist that racism isn’t real. And then FacebookContinue reading “Let’s Keep Talking”
George Floyd
May 27th, 2020 I don’t know what to say. I always have a lot of things to say but it’s usually about things that don’t matter. Black lives matter. My lack of an immediate response isn’t because I’m not feeling anything; I’m feeling too much. I’m sad, and I’m disgusted, and I’m fucking angry. ForContinue reading “George Floyd”

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”
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.”
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”
Happy Holidays, Thank You & Brand New Website!
December 7th, 2019 Happy weekend, family and friends — longtime and brand new! I hope this letter finds you with a perfectly piping cup of cocoa, tremendously thick socks wrapped around your toes and a purring pet passed out by your feet. Wherever you are, I hope you’re well and having a peaceful season. IContinue reading “Happy Holidays, Thank You & Brand New Website!”
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”
Fall, With You I Fall So Fast
September 27th, 2019 My brain is probably backwards, but I’ve always felt like fall is a beginning. I think most people assign spring as the season of something new. But for me, the heat death of summer has always signified endings. The end of friendships. The end of romances. The end of freedom. Because whereContinue reading “Fall, With You I Fall So Fast”
