people think writing is about being smart but actually it's about being honest which is way harder
Been waiting for this bus for what feels like an eternity. At least the bus stop is in the shade.
This is tomorrow! I am inside of the plane to NYC as I type this! I forgot all of my copies of the book lol
Next book tour stop is NYC in July with @hank_jost at Mood Ring!
One of my biggest pet peeves is when a woman with long hair repeated fucks with it so it touches me. I get enraged and I don’t know how they don’t feel it hitting my arm???

it's the end of non-binary awareness week today, and beestung is stalled at 385/1840 for our campaign to keep paying and publishing writers under the non-binary, genderqueer, and two-spirit umbrellas. and amount helps, and would be greatly appreciated! gofundme.com/f/beestung-yea…

Going to reschedule/rethink this one. Let me know if you're interested in an August date, and what price point would work best for you. Still going to donate half the proceeds :]

A very pretty young man fundraising outside of Denver Central Market today was making very intense fuck me eye contact with me until I told him my birth year and he went "Wow, you look great". Anyway, I am "Wow, you look great" years old and also I have passed away.
I was a child actor. I had the same agency as Raven Symoné, and I got to meet her once. She laughed at my impression of her character in Dr. Doolitte (that's how long ago this was). Also I was in a superbowl commercial. My parents used my acting money to buy their first house.
Share a piece of lore about yourself
This weekend!

My podcast appearance on Poems and Whiskey is live! open.spotify.com/episode/21JR1r…
Just ran into my property manager in the lobby. She brought in her newborn baby and I deadass had no idea she was pregnant. I asked her if she had known. My one friend who had a surprise baby has scarred me. Today is her birthday ironically
