Wow.
“If you loved me, you wouldn’t do this”
“Carol. Please understand we have to do this because we love you.”
I have so many thoughts about how #Pluribus so elegantly visualizes what it’s like to grow up in abuse and dysfunction but this just stabbed me in the heartstrings.

I truly implore a lot more women to completely shut down and leave no room for conversation when met with the “let’s open our relationship” convo. Not because it can’t be healthy, not because it’s immoral or unnatural

watching Weapons today!🤞🏼🤞🏼

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Making art makes me feel better.

But to make art I have to feel better.

What is this nonsense.

STOP CALLING IT “DOGE.”

Maybe the publishing world is a hypercompetitive hellscape for YOU. Skill issue.

My writer pals and I are all over here reading each other's stories and crying. I am in all of their fan clubs.

If y'all aren't hyping each other up, what are you even doing?

Do me a kindness! Share this if you love and support your local library & librarians (and remember: that includes your school library & school librarian) 😊📚

Thank you libraries & library workers… for everything ✨💚

I deactivated my instagram and facebook accounts because I firmly believe that social
media conglomerates that want to vie for the power of hosting the digital town square should also assume the responsibility of being, at the very least, a neutral party with regulations that extend equally to all

This year I made some emotional support collages-

If you or someone you know needs an abortion, call 1-800-230-Plan or go to AbortionFinder.org

1 - 8 0 0 - 2 3 0 - P L A N
1 - 8 0 0 - 2 3 0 - 7 5 2 6

This year I created memories with music at the core of them for the first time in my life. Chappell and Charli and Katie Gavin and Wic Whitney and Cassandra Jenkins and Sufjan Stevens. This year it feels like things are starting to slow down enough to process in real time for the first time ever.

This year I saw Longlegs and I was struck by the parallels of each character’s dynamic with each other and mothers affected by abusive or absent relationships/dynamics and their children who are always affected regardless of the effort to mitigate damage or any rationalizing of collective pain.

Trees and Roots and Secret Snacks- 11/27/22 This year another year passed before I sent my sister this poem I wrote.

i love art, i love artists, i love art because artists made it, I love artists because they make art

one of the best hubble images ever

Bit of a wild one- This year I walked out of showings of Hunger Games: Songbirds and Snakes, Inside Out 2, and Maxxxine to news of Henry Kissinger’s death, Biden dropping out, and Trump’s assassination attempt, respectively.

This year I saw Cassandra Jenkins live in SF and she played New Bikini, I needed to hear it and I got to listen eyes closed, on a leather couch in the venue foyer whilst dealing with chronic pain. This year I didn’t make it to the beach.
