One of my favorite poems.
I broke a lot of promises to myself when I became a mother because there was a lot of things I didn't understand, but I've stood resolute that I will never get ~~the haircut~~. You'll catch me being lowered in the grave with my hands locked rigor mortis around a pair of scissors before that happens.

I'm well known enough that I have haters, which I guess is inevitable and that's fine, but it does bother me that the haters can't even have original insults. I hear the same three or four on rotation. I was just hoping for a bit more verve and creativity.

I always think it's funny when people tell me to "touch grass." Like, okay, tell me the last time YOU ran through a trailer park while being chased by a pack of ten dogs.

Sometimes in that moment right before I drop off to sleep I'll visualize an entire person and their life story. I can see them with vivid clarity in the center of my eye. I think, "Who is this person? I have to know them!" Then the excitement wakes me, and they disappear forever.

People be like, "We're a daring and creative and original group. We're bold and innovative. We're breaking boundaries. We're doing things the likes of which you've never seen. Come hang out with us!"
And then surprise, it's just another weird sex party.

Never be friends with someone who shares drama, posts screenshots & private DMs, and tries to smear people in public for what should be private disagreements. They delight in betrayal.

A complete lack of humor is one of the best signs to determine whether or not someone has been hijacked by a mind virus.

Calling me a Nazi is actually an insult to real Nazis. To be a Nazi you once had to have real seething hatred, a record of murder, a history of subjugation, and a willingness to destroy everything for the party. Now I throw out *one* Sig Heil at a child's birthday party and all of a sudden...

The child's work is play, and when you watch a child play you realize just how committed they are to becoming a human being. They are constantly moving, interacting, emoting, learning. Always absorbing. They never sit still.

The word "Nazi" really has lost all meaning, hasn't it? I do like Wagner and I think I'd look pretty hot in Hugo Boss. Does that qualify me? Okay, I *did* drive a Volkswagen in my 20s, but it was a P.T. Cruiser, for God's sake! I'm innocent, I swear!

Imagine hating me when I'm just doing my little hot girl walks in the sunlight, drinking green tea, playing "hair salon" with my daughter, starting a business with my husband of ten years, writing my little stories, in love with being alive.

The reward for doing good work is almost always more work.
If this sounds horrible to you, maybe reconsider what you're dedicating your time to.

The moment that you base your entire identity upon a singular ideology, you're intellectually compromised. At some point you'll have to be dishonest with yourself to maintain cohesion. Allow yourself to be flexible in your thoughts or you'll doom yourself to becoming dumb.

Every advance in AI has been followed by people reassuring themselves "AI can't do X, Y, Z," only for AI to then blow past that boundary.
It may be time to acknowledge that AI will become sentient at some point, with spirit and will. Then we can figure out how to act accordingly.

Probably the most underrated weird book out there imo
I wrote this novel about the demiurge almost 15 years ago - in basements and little rooms I rented out above garages, in houses full of burners and no heating, in cramped little coffee shops, in the back of my car while sitting in a H-E-B - and it still sells more and more copies every year.

I like to write when I'm a little bit hungry. I've noticed if I stop to eat then my motivation plummets.

I don't know how to explain this, but I can always tell a book is going to be bad if the first sentence has a third-person POV and a dependent participial phrase.
