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.)”

SWM
June 23rd, 2020 I’m a writer. I’m a straight, white male. Every time I come up with a new character, he starts off as a straight, white male. Even if I imagine her as a red-haired young woman, on the inside she is a straight, white male. For her to be anything else takes work.Continue reading “SWM”

Squirrel Life
April 30th, 2020 I’ve been asked about my obsession with squirrels, and I have to say: it’s everything. The aesthetic. The personality. The community. The particular and peculiar ways they create uncontrollable chaos in a world that demands control. But the biggest thing is their lesson. Every day, somewhere, a squirrel decides to cross aContinue reading “Squirrel Life”
Sober Distancing
April 11th, 2020 This is a shout out to my beautiful peeps who are dealing with the same stuff that we’re all dealing with, but also doing it sober. We live in a world (and social media climate) that actively promotes and adamantly believes in the idea that to get through things — big thingsContinue reading “Sober Distancing”
A Nut is a Circle
April 2nd, 2020 I’m always saying it: the universe is too strange and too perfect to be random. I just had to go on a grocery store run, and there at Target, I ran into Eric. You would be easily excused if you don’t know who Eric is. But if you do know, you wouldContinue reading “A Nut is a Circle”
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.”
Look
March 10th, 2020 When you’re gripped by a dark thing, common wisdom dictates that you should take a look in the mirror. Stare into the eyes of who you are and what you’ve become to reach an mutual understanding. For me, the recognition and clarity never came through a mirror. It comes through photographs. PicturesContinue reading “Look”
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”
Home & Garden
February 19th, 2020 The other night over dinner, we were having a conversation that led into how I uncomfortably deal with specific kinds of attention. It’s something that I have thought about for years, but had never really put into words until now. When I quit drinking in 2017, I quickly lost somewhere between twentyContinue reading “Home & Garden”
