I'm getting more book event requests, that's great!
But keep in mind: No alcohol related (and ESPECIALLY nothing worse) events
That stuff is triggering for me so I am deeply adverse to it. Sober spaces only, no exceptions
(Plus, I want young ppl to be there, not ppl who keep my therapists paid)

I do aspire to make works that can eventually even unsettle John Waters (or just make him go "this is too queer, even for me"). Instead of me just popping up in front of him with an over-cheery "HI!😃😃😃", which both times have made him jump with fright 🙃
