Someone pointed out that any hand gesture for giving someone something is always palm-up. You don't give your heart with your palm down. That's not what that means

Thoughts of this rug consume me. Why does the pattern repeat? That’s bananas. Why does the elephant live in a desert next to a ball of yarn? (Click to see the whole thing.)

Got work up at Another Chicago Magazine a few months back and somehow missed it? Anyways, here is a scan I did with asemic writing. I love what the editor paired this with too. Big thanks!

New poem came out in As It Ought To Be MagazineBig thanks to Chase. It was a difficult poem to write, in part because it starts off funny (my toddler only collects brown fall leaves! we live in New England!) but then goes to a dark, dark place. The dark place happens offstage, but t/w nonetheless.

Not to be a grinch, but the Patrick Stewart Christmas Carol sucks ass in a bad way. I love PatStew in TNG, obviously. And comparing to The Muppets versions is setting yourself up for dissatisfaction. But I’m right. It has no warmth. Boring AF. It’s route. The transformation scene is embarrassing.

Already helped with the leftovers by topping vanilla ice cream with cranberry sauce. It’s marvelous.
