Watching the behind the scenes content for the Game Changer Season 8 finale and tearing up at how much time and work and care goes into everything that Dropout does, including nurturing the talent of the comedians and artists we love. May that be the model for creative communities.

Grateful to the booksellers and community spaces who have been open to doing events or stocking my books. Sometimes it is about showing up and showing you care about their work too that makes those requests less awkward and more about genuine connection.

Chronic pain can take a lot of things from you. Your time. Your creative energy. Your ability to do basic tasks and care for yourself. You grow accustomed to it, find all the ways you can to ameliorate the effects, but it will change you and how you relate to the world.

Being a freelancer has always been challenging but right now feels like a joke. So many writing and editing job listing that are fake or unresponsive, others that everyone is going after like crabs in a bucket, and many are just gateways for training AI systems. It's rough out here.

With the increase in food and medication recalls, it’s easy to feel a loss of control. One small thing you can do to make a huge difference is to wear a mask. It keeps you & your community safe. It shows solidarity with disabled people. It’s a form of resistance. It’s community care.
