My book--the book born from years of obsession about my face, from hospitalizations, from living with a body that betrays me--will be out to share with the world in 2024 ✨💕 Not only that, but it'll heralded in by the magnificent @rgay of all people 🦄 I've never felt luckier.

Philly! Mark your calendars! Sunday @ 6:30pm at Meyer's Brewing, we're gathering to write letters to Josh Shapiro to pressure him to flex federal funding to support SEPTA. @Fishtown will provide all the letter writing supplies you need, along with a template of what to say 🚃

the thing about chronic illness is once you start talking abt your struggles, you’ll find that so many people open up abt their own too. the paradigm changes. the norm isn’t some stable perfect image of health and wellness, but rather the chaos that is the human body

this isn’t to say that you’re obligated to talk about your illness or that you should ever do so in unsafe places — but we CAN change things through our vulnerability

My book, SAD GROWNUPS, came out a month ago. Feels like five years. It's in large part about how to get by in an increasingly hostile world. I hope you'll order it @Bookshop_Org or at your local bookstore or library. Did you have an indie book come out this year? Link it below!

curious: for those who have perhaps experienced personal and professional burnout at the same time, what did you do to recuperate and how long did it take?

As I'm here less and less, a reminder, I've got a free Discord for writers in the greater Philadelphia region that I run with @skrishna, and if you need a community... drop me a line. Doesn't matter where you're at in your career, there's an invite waiting for you. 💛

This should be illegal. This is voter suppression. We really need to standardize our voting laws across the nation because this is ridiculous.
