If there are any #stillcoviding Christians out there who want an invitation to the Covid-Cautious Christian Discord server, please let me know! I know the holidays can be an especially lonely time and you deserve access to communities that share your values.

Since the NaNoWriMo website has shut down, I wanted to repost this article I wrote for their blog back in 2022. It reshapes the advice to "live first, then write" to accommodate life with chronic illness. #writingadvice

As more States propose mask bans, I want to take a moment to discuss claims that it’s “fear mongering” to say that masking is illegal.
People claim the medical exemption is “good enough”.
This ignores three critical points. Public perception, anti mask sentiment and rampant ableism

All of you out there who care for other people (professionally and/or in your personal lives) despite an America that tells you not to... I see you. I am grateful for you. You are what brings meaning and love even in the darkness.
