Wicked For Good is an incredible adaptation of the second act of The Wicked musical. It was refreshing, changing things from the musical, adding new songs and changing arrangements. Check out my full review at the link below!

Do you ever get anxiety in liminal spaces? The autumn is honestly one of my favorite seasons. However, because of Autumn's liminality, I feel like I have been living in eternal Autumn for 14 years. Read my full thoughts at the link below! ❤️

You know that moment when you’re in a dream and you try to scream but nothing comes out; being marginalized in America feels like that scream. (Read my full essay at the link below!!!)

Miss Major passed away on October 13th at the age of 78. Her legacy as an activist and a mother cannot be matched. This article talks about the legacy that elders leave when they pass away. This was my attempt at writing something coherent. Writer's block is no joke.

sorry i keep crying during sex is a funny book about trauma. There is no other way to explain it. The book explores PTSD from sexual trauma, being a primary caretaker for a family member with Alzheimer's, and 9/11 (It will make sense when you read it!) Read my review at the link below!

Protect The Dolls has become a slogan that has been repeated constantly since Coachella 2025. In my opinion, this phrase is hollow and has no meaning without action. I wrote a poem(?) about this. Check it out at the link below! #ProtectTheDolls #TransRights #SupportTransFutures #ArmtheDolls #trans

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
