I had so much fun meeting ya’ll at HorrorHound this weekend! TY sm for coming to visit me at my table & for all the love, letters, and thoughtful gifts. It means more to me than you know. I also got to fan girl myself & meet the incomparable Lorraine Bracco. Just a weekend that can’t be beat. 💙

Moms, you know I love you but please for the love of god, stop telling me your teenage son has a crush on me IN FRONT OF HIM??? You embarrass the heck out of them and all I can really do is laugh awkwardly and try to make them feel less uncomfortable/pick up the pieces.

Listen. This is the time to use your voice. Loud and fuckin proud. *Crave* to have the right people pissed off at you (because they are in fact, the wrong people). Trans folks, black, brown, queer folks and everyone who doesn’t fit into some pre-approved box deserve better than what we are givin.

This year was filled with immense love and insurmountable loss. As it comes to a close, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone that I’ve crossed paths with, especially in this past year. You’ve enriched my life with your presence however long or short the encounter. Happy New Year! 🥂✨

I had a quick phone call w/ a banker to answer verifying questions today & I answered the phone the exact same moment I was cursing out an idiot driver (husband was driving so my hands were free). Now I’m mortified. 🫠 Don’t ask me how that timing happened, I still don’t know. Roadrage strikes again

[thanksgiving dinner] Me *whispering to myself*: Another one bites the bust. Uncle: For the 12th time, please stop saying that each time one of us eats. Me: Uncle: Me: Are you happy? Uncle: Yes. Me: Are you satisfied? Uncle: YES! Me: How long can you stand the heat? Uncle: JFC!
