How is anyone surprised he’s on the list? The man loves to have his name on everything.

As a disabled person, instead of saying I’ve fallen I’m just going to start saying —

“New me just dropped.”

Having a baby has turned me into the type of person I hate most.

A prop comic.

Yesterday on March 31st at 12:58pm my son was born and at 12:58 and 10 seconds suddenly a lot of things I was worried about no longer matter.

And a lot of new things do.

My wife just referred to our son’s umbilical cord as his “skin leash” and now I’ll never be the same.

Even some antibiotics are non-monogamous apparently.

I have a very special ability. A sixth sense if you will. It comes in moments of quiet, when the air stands still. I can close my eyes, raise my hand gently, goosebumps raising across my arms and…

… I instinctually know that my dog is getting into the cat’s litter box.

“Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club?
That's where I work, I dance
Yes!
They used to tie you up…”

Writing a memoir has been a fascinating experience because I’m literally chasing after memories and with each passing day, they are getting further and further away from me.

I cannot express enough how much power there is in just deleting someone’s mean or wild or off-putting comment. Watching as someone leaves a giant block of text on your post and then you just… *delete* is one of the best feelings in the world.

I recommend doing it more.

Imagine being born HIV positive.

Imagine being born a twin and your twin passes away from HIV.

Imagine your HIV causes you to be disabled.

Imagine being on the first drug trials of infants with HIV supervised by Dr. Fauci.

Imagine being told you won’t survive or ever walk.

Storming through the party like my name is El Niño and I will be leaving at a reasonable time because I have places to be tomorrow…

Open Challenge:

I need someone to summarize the Kendrick v Drake situation, but here’s the thing… I need you to do it in WWE wrestling terms/story.

I know there’s gotta be someone out there who can do this for me.

Me for the next four years as someone tells me some absolutely bonkers news that I’ve already known for five minutes and twelve even more insane things have occurred since then:

I’ll be using my Substack as a scratch pad while I work on my first memoir. I’d love it if you join me over there ❤️

One of our cats brought their favorite toy into the nursery when we weren’t looking and left it by the crib…

Don’t mind me I’m just gonna go sob.

I guess they are ready for Milo to get here! ❤️

I don’t need an education in feminist text to clock when other men can only make eye contact and talk to me when my wife is right there.

It’s like being married to Swayze in Ghost. Or Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense. Or those characters talking to Michael J Fox in The Frighteners. You get me.
