Book Fair For Grown-Ups 2026

July 11th, 2026 The Book Fair For Grown-Ups and the Inbound Brewery team knocked it out of the park again. Despite the heavy heat, spirits I encountered were high and living their best Scholastic-coded lives. I took notes! • The new space was warranted and much-appreciated. I sounded like an old man when I recountedContinue reading “Book Fair For Grown-Ups 2026”

Dual

June 17th, 2026 I don’t know what I am. Zen Buddhism says that in our absolute reality, each of us are the whole universe and nothing simultaneously; in our individual, relative versions of reality, however, I believe the entire point of our existence is to discover who we actually are before we’re gone. Usually whenContinue reading “Dual”

SpringCon 2026

June 6th, 2026 I know it’s been a long time between conventions for me when there’s so much to catch up on! There was rarely a moment I wasn’t in conversation with an old friend, a new fan, or a random passerby today. I missed this community so much and there were moments I feltContinue reading “SpringCon 2026”

Quality

March 31, 2026 Eventually you will be unable to give any of yourself to this world. I don’t mean to say this as a way to plunge you into a cold existential void. If anything, I want this to be a splash of cool water on your face, a reminder. Human life is hard. FrictionContinue reading “Quality”

Let’s Commence

March 26th, 2026 So! I just learned this afternoon that I have been selected to be one of the commencement speakers at the 2026 DCTC graduation ceremony in May. This is an absolute honor and a total full-circle moment and I could use your help! I already have a draft. (In fact, a draft wasContinue reading “Let’s Commence”

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”

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?”

Maybe I’m Crazy

January 16th, 2026 What’s crazy to me is that Jesus Christ was killed by the state for embodying and promoting such traitorous and terroristic behaviors as loving thy neighbor, no matter who that neighbor is. What’s crazy to me is I have spent my whole life listening to people tell me that they needed theirContinue reading “Maybe I’m Crazy”

And you know we’re on each other’s team

January 10th, 2026 I wrote something insane last night. Like, the kind of essay that could cost me my job, lose me hundreds of followers, inspire wellness checks. It was unhinged, full of rage and despair, my words as vindictive and cutting as a pair of scissors laced with cyanide. It was actually pretty fuckingContinue reading “And you know we’re on each other’s team”
