When we meet again in the dark
May 1st, 2024 It’s natural to reflect on your birthday. It’s natural to daydream about your earliest moments, lying on coarse carpet, following the sunlight as it sings through the tiny glass prism your mom hung in the window, leaving stains of every color in the palm of your hand; it’s natural to anxiously dwellContinue reading “When we meet again in the dark”
With Great Stupidity Comes No Responsibility
April 29th, 2024 Human beings are objectively both the most intelligent and stupidest species on the planet and, yes, that includes you. One of my favorite writers, Brian Klaas, wrote yet another phenomenal essay last week about this topic and, while you should read the whole thing, I just want to share the piece thatContinue reading “With Great Stupidity Comes No Responsibility”

goosebumps
April 16th, 2024 What is scary for you? I’ve been First Ave- and Prince-obsessed the past several months, diving into library books and PBS documentaries and YouTube videos and resurfaced bootlegs. There’s a quote from Prince in an interview (his last) that I can’t stop thinking about; he was lamenting the current state of musicContinue reading “goosebumps”
Spring Flowers
April 4th, 2024 I haven’t been let out in public to talk about writing and art and music and The Bachelor since November (where does the time go?) but that’s all about to change.

A Jojo (and Dennis) Update
March 22nd, 2024 It’s been exactly one hot minute and the rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated; here’s my face to explain how I’ve been busy, plus all the details I can give about Jojo’s Time Machine, which is coming out next week (oh jeez). Don’t want to watch? Here’s some key moments:Continue reading “A Jojo (and Dennis) Update”
Fluke
March 11th, 2024 I can say without hyperbole that this book, Fluke, by Brian Klaas, is one of the best I’ve ever read. The problem with reviewing something is that you don’t want to spoil the thing for a potential reader, but you have to say enough to make them feel compelled to read it.Continue reading “Fluke”
New Era
February 6th, 2024 omg. My paperback copies of Sunny Days of Rain arrived today, and I was not joking about its size. My last essay collection was a slim 451 pages, compared to this 824-page giant-sized behemoth. If you would have told me back in 2017 that there would be over 1,200 printed pages ofContinue reading “New Era”
