This piece came out of a prompt from last year's 804 writing retreat. All the thanks to my friends for creating a space that is lax and fun (and funny!) and creative. It's a super short one if you have the time! "Small Fortune" out in Lover's Eye Press.

Every time someone admits they use any form of AI, I want to claw my eyes out. It’s becoming a knee jerk reaction at this point, my wincing and wtf-ing.

I guess I’m headed to France?! I’m absolutely flabbergasted. After years of following their page & pining from a distance & two almost-submitted applications, I finally just did the thing & applied this year. And my immediate response was “is this a joke?” WHY are we like this?!

My engagement on Twitter has been sucky for a while now after it took years & years to get the steady bit of interaction I did have.
This place completely blows, I’m starting from scratch. Yelling down an empty hallway & all that. Plus no bookmarking feature to track announcements. C’est la vie 🫠

Andddd everything always hits at once. No more bombardments until the summer! I love this layout so much, I’m stupid excited to be in The Emerson Review with a vulnerable little flashback piece from when I was just a wee little immigrant child.

It's that time of year again. My mom's birthday is today and she's halfway around the world in Albania. I wrote this a few years back; it came out just in time for her birthday then. It's definitely a favorite of mine. 🎈
