Russia has not been communist in over 30 years. Americans don’t seem to understand this. It makes me feel insane.

So you’re telling me all those people on To Catch a Predator could have taken a cue from Republicans and shouted “USA! USA!” at Chris Hansen and it probably would have worked

I don’t think people in other parts of the US understand that we get our own seasonal affective disorder in Texas. I want to wail and tear my hair out and punch the fucking sun into oblivion. I’ve been stuck inside for 3 months already and summer lasts another 2. I am not okay.

Honestly a good summary of my novel (still 99 cents, btw)

Guy at bookstore in Portland tells me they’re not likely to take my book since they mostly sell only local authors, which cuts deep considering my local bookstores don’t want my book either 😭

This is my favorite review of my book by far

I think the funniest news people are sleeping on is that somebody committed major corporate sabotage at Blue Apron and sent all of their customers across the country empty boxes with maybe a condiment or two and nothing more.

So my chronic fatigue could be caused by my Hashimoto’s disease or by a past Epstein Barr virus infection or both or I dunno just gonna feel this way forever and ever I guess 🙃

This is one of the reasons I wrote Wade & Felix Forever. The way politicians and podcasters and snake-oil salespeople have infected this country with a verve for the art of the grift. What are they teaching our youth? Was it worth the invitation to Mar-a-Lago?

All of my doctors are out of ideas about my chronic fatigue and are probably so tired of hearing about it that they’re eventually going to direct me to the nearest cocaine dealer
