not to sound like a woman in 1951 but it’s so annoying that I can’t get paid to play tennis

When you randomly find a book you illustrated for the amazing writer, @kaylakumari.bsky.social, at an amazing place like The Nook on Robinson in the Milk District. #orlando

It was great to catch up with @kaylakumari.bsky.social and listen to her wife, the incredibly talented @kristenarnett.bsky.social, discuss the craft of writing accurate depictions of clowning, grief, and Florida.

Kayla and Nic , two women, smile at the camera. Each is wearing a red clown nose.

Two women sit on a couch at the far side of the room. One of them holds a microphone and reads from a book. Chairs of listeners are arranged on both the left and right side of the frame.

Day 9 of 100 Days of Creative Resistance: @kaylakumari.bsky.social against the myth of the solitary writer mailchi.mp/27d5b5a60194... @writingco-lab.bsky.social

100 Days of Creative Resistance graphic with a quote from Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya that reads “Isolation in these times is dangerous; it lets our perspective narrow. It is through the political act of collectivism and the social act of community-building that we can best survive and also best fight all the bad shit raining down on us in 2025 and beyond.”

I’m sure there’s no “right” way to grieve a dog but why is my way to start roasting a whole duck at 6pm on a school night (and started prep at 6am)

I just woke up from a dream in which I tweeted “my toxic trait is that I’m positive all I’d need is a 10 minute conversation with Ariana Grande to convince her to let me ghostwrite her memoir” and you know what…….tea

most opponents I encounter are great but the terrible sportsmanship in a certain flavor of white suburban women who play competitive tennis in central florida makes the mean girls in high school tennis seem harmless
