Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

If no one else has got me, at least Sarah Kinsley's got me.

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

This is relevant again!
One day I know there will be someone who loves me so dang much and it's going to be AWESOME.
And even if that someone ends up being me, all the better.

Poop! I waited too long.
Update: Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Boston are sold out. (Sorry!) New York will sell out by tomorrow. Tickets still available in the other cities for now. Thanks for the (stunning! overwhelming!) interest in this book.
Everything is TB Tour! Coming to you this March with some truly spectacular friends. Tickets will include a pre-signed copy of the book and are available now at everythingistb.com EXCEPT for Philadelphia, PA (available Friday). Excited to see you all!

Thinking about moving, but tell me why my apartment needs to know if I'm going to renew/vacate by Feb. 1 when my lease isn't up until July?

Last week I transcribed the diary that my great-grandmother kept in 1929 while at a sanatorium for TB (which she'd succumb to 3 years later at age 31). Very insightful and informative, hopefully inspiring for my own writing.
But, uh, wtf Dr. Smith...

Read books, watch movies, listen to music, go to concerts and plays and lift up those artists who are doing the things that make you happy, because it will help, then, make other people happy too, and fill the internet with things other than just that guy and what he’s doing

A lot of people have shared this poem over the past week. It’s a sentiment I think about a lot, especially now.

I hope everyone is doing what they need to take care of themselves. One step at a time. One day at a time.
