I'm gonna say it. The makers of Royal Match seriously overestimate my desire to keep members of the royal family alive.

You don't know anyone but natural born American citizens, full stop. And if you're white and border patrol or ICE starts asking questions, you ask to see their warrant. Don't you do nazi shit.

Parenting at night: Laying awake thinking 'please just make a sound so I know you're okay'. Also parenting at night: Laying awake thinking 'please can you just shut up so I can sleep'.

Conducting an exorcism is not just knowing the passages and having the patience of a saint, but having a feeling for the fluctuations of the conflict, and knowing what tool to use when. In many ways, it's like putting a toddler to bed.

As an autistic person, I find it so hard to be spontaneous. I overthink every decision, but when anyone ever asks "why did you do that?" my whole being melts and I lose the ability to express myself. Anyone else gets that?

When I was a child, I was taught to be quiet, to be compliant, and to accept the world how it is. I hope to teach my children to rebel, to challenge, and to change the world!

If you truly love a TV show, you will only ever watch the first season of it - and in some occasions you will not watch the final episode. I don't make the rules.

I was asked what the difference is between being an artist and a content creator, and ultimately I think that creating art is a political process and creating content is not. In the unlikely event you see this I would love to hear your thoughts! Also - you can be both!!
