  • I Needed Social Distancing

    I needed this shelter in place. I needed to be forced to sit down, stripped of all obligations and distractions save for work, and simply focus. We’re three weeks in and I have to say the shelter in place order has been… refreshing. Calming. Necessary. The only analogy that makes the most sense to me…

  • It’s So Hard To Say Hello

    Ask any person pursuing some sort of creative endeavor what the hardest part of the project was and without fail the statement, “getting started” while find its way into the conversation. You have the ideas. You know what you want to do. You may even know how you want to do it, but something about…

  • One of These Things Is Not Like the Other

    A good deal of life is walking around wondering, “Is this normal?” I like to lay in bed stark naked and pretend to make snow angels while my dog softly paws at the bedroom door because she can sense some interesting human behaviors are afoot and wants to stare at me with that cocked head…

  • Yes, I Wrote A Blog Post About Public Pooping

    You’re definitely going to judge me on this one and frankly, it’s warranted. I’m probably in the minority here, but I find a weird, calming sense of camaraderie when pooping in a public toilet next to a stranger. Let me flush that out. You’re right. That was a shitty pun. Ok. That was the last…

  • It’s Not What You Know… Because It Hasn’t Been Taught

    I refuse to believe this adulthood thing we all heard so much about is supposed to be so… unfulfilling. We obtain these expensive pieces of paper to show employers that we’re “smart,” but they really don’t prove anything in terms of ability, skill, or talent. Most degrees aren’t even relevant to the jobs we ultimately…

  • New York, I Love You, But I Gotta Leave You

    Yeah you read that correctly. That felt nice to type. It’s even more comforting looking at that phrase. I’m. Over. New. York. 🙂 Lately, I’ve found myself completely disenchanted with this “city of dreams if you can make it here you can make it anywhere hey I’m walking here I think the bodega cat gave…

  • An Apology Letter From That Company That Did That Offensive Thing

    Well, it’s Tuesday, which naturally means a group of women, minorities, and/or someone from the LGBTQ community is offended by a product or sexual harassment or something you or your company has done that you can’t recall. Now, you, a powerful white man (!!!!!), have found your well-funded startup, of which the actual business purpose…
