I write about relationships in the broadest sense (family, society, romance). I see beauty in everything. I see problems anywhere, and want to solve them. I'm an artist in many media. Recovering from impostor syndrome -- trying to post more of my work.

Bio is too short, so here's a bit more about me.
I am half Dutch and half Italian, and I immigrated to the US some 23 years ago. I love languages and communication, and have worked in those fields most of my life.

Love is an act of resistance. Love gives us hope. Love helps us protect each other.
I'm angry about so many things in our political climate. And anger is good for action -- it builds boundaries and fosters strength.
But we also need the softer things, time to refill our batteries. Love.

This video speaks directly to the people who hate the "woke left" and explains why we have to band together to stop the rich elites who control the media and rule our lives. LGBTQ+ people, people of color, immigrants, etc are *not* our enemy. It's the ruling class. Share with your friends.

I like to tell people I'm "battling my demons." It sounds so much cooler than sitting around knowing why I suck and wondering why that doesn't fix it

Yeah, whatever i write seems inconsequential, obvious... Because it's literally my thoughts. They are usually pretty damn obvious to me.

People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

It’s not an easy read and it’s super dense but I think one of the most impactful essays I read in film school was Sergei Eisenstein’s “A Dialect Approach To Film Form” which still influences how I approach media when writing about it for my own essays. Highly recommend picking it apart

Yes! Because there will be those who flee and show you they are unworthy of being in your presence. And the others, those who look at your spirit shining through, are your people. They will stand with you, support you, and protect you.
Be your authentic self.
If that means the timid townsfolk flee before your dangerously shambling form, terrible darkness, and unearthly beauty, so be it.

1. I have released my first post-election anti-trans risk assessment map.
The national risk is high due to potential Republican national policies targeting trans people.
DC has slightly increased in risk. Wyoming and Georgia go up as well.

We need to flood Congress with phone calls TODAY to make sure they don't slip the dangerous and misguided Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) into a must-pass year end bill.
This bill would make kids LESS safe and threatens LGBTQ ppl & human rights.

How many questions has the legacy media asked Republicans about why they are trying to disenfranchise 60,000 North Carolina voters and steal a State Supreme Court seat?
Virtually every question today at the WH Press briefing was about the Hunter pardon, as if that is the thing the American people care about most right now. The DC press is so disconnected from the American public and serves them poorly more often than not.

So much amazing art here on Bsky.
In the sea of awful political news, these artists are my lifeline -- reminding me that the world is filled with talent and beauty. And that art is also a form of resistance, and of calling attention to what ails us.

This is HUGE. We could see Boeing and its executives go on trial for the company's role in the deaths of 346 people👇
🚨BREAKING: A federal judge has REJECTED Boeing's sweetheart plea deal related to its two 737 Max crashes.
The Lever was the first to report back in January that the aerospace giant potentially violated the deal by ignoring warnings for "excessive" defects.

My whole underlying hypothesis, as a writer, is that the way we are being governed is eerily reminiscent of interpersonal abuse. And that so many of us are blind to it because we are raised to think this is normal, and even *caring*.
