So, I have this rash and other things you don't want to hear on a second date. 😆 Moth StorySLAM link below. Thanks for checking it out. youtu.be/HFOtX1zloME?...

Sometimes a piece gets rejected with criticism that just doesn't feel accurate, so you resubmit it immediately, and it places in a contest. 😃Thanks Sweet Lit and Jill Christman for selecting my weird, little piece. sweetlit.org/natasha-moni...

Portland! Looking for a cool way to spend Sunday? Join me 6/29 at the Echo Theater from 7–9:30 p.m. Molly Chen, musician and storyteller extraordinaire will kick us off with a pre-event workshop. I'll share a new-to-stage story later. :)

Oh, Portland. Can't a toy horse catch a break?

Sometimes, those stories about accompanying your second date to an ER come in handy. Like at the Moth Story Slam. So much fun last night, Portland. Thanks to Molly Chen for the photo. :)

Say you're walking with a friend who spies a dollar in the grass, and instead of keeping it for herself, she presses it in your hand. So you set it on your windowsill, because times may be rough but you know you're rich in ways not measured by your checking. Say that.

After being locked out of my FB account for two years, I'm trying something new. Hello Bluesky, I like you so much more already. 💙
