I was 14, fresh into ninth grade, and already in my second identity crisis. We’d moved from Washington to California right after elementary school, so at 11, I got the double-whammy of being the ne…

In search of Hope.
I’m feeling extraordinarily vulnerable. Scared. Worried. Anxious. Unmoored. When I first realized there was no safety net out in the universe, my world came crashing down around me. As a child—and …

I don’t swim in soup. The ocean is trauma chowder with sharks, whale butts, mystery squishies, and unsolicited stings. It’s a giant salty toilet with horror-movie energy and personal attacks. No invites. No chill. I’ll cruise—but only by day. Hard pass, Kraken. 🐙

I’m a Super-taster!
For years—no, decades—I was relentlessly hassled, harassed, and side-eyed for being a picky, boring, and allegedly “unadventurous” eater. People acted like I was staging a culinary protest, when re…

The Cheeto Weasel tanked the economy, set the circus on fire, and now the baboons are flinging blame like banana peels in a blender. Not my monkeys. I’ve got snacks, a ballot, and a brain cell count higher than the national debt. Stay messy, GOP. I’ll be watching.

Surviving four years of Trump, the GOP, and Musk? Stock up on wine, sarcasm, and noise-canceling headphones. Join a book club—but for ranting. Cancel X and Threads-start group chats. When all else fails, binge-watch Wallace & Gromit—because at least their chaos ends with cheese.

The Cheeto weasel stood alone,
No wife, no kids, no crowd to own.
“The Gulf of Mexico? Rename it now!
The Gulf of America! Take a bow!”
He grinned, but silence filled the air,
Even Greenland didn’t care.
A king of nothing, loud and small—
His big day flopped, no one at all. #mydream #noshowmonday
