I used to write for @reductress @mcsweeneys and @belladonnacomedy and was Twitter famous for, like, a week in 2014. Now just a mere mortal. Thinking of joining a writing group if you know any.

Announcing a Rebrand...

In an effort to silence critics who mistake the poet's signature punctuation for AI, the Emily Dickinson Museum is officially rebranding as the Em Dash Museum. The Museum aims to reclaim the dash from modern technological woes and return it to its rightful owner. After all, the em dash is named after Emily…

Dear Fellow American

I see by your sign that you voted for Harris/Walz, so did I. I know things look bad right now, but please do not lose hope. I am not saying it will be easy, it most definitely will not be, but I hope this is a wake-up call to other like-minded individuals that we cannot take anything for granted.

We must not fall into despair (I know it’s hard). Donald Trump may have won the popular vote this time but remember there are still 70 million+ of us who did not vote for him. Remember that we are not alone. We need to grieve this tremendous loss, then we need to fight. It will not be an easy or quick fight, and you are entitled to take breaks, but Trump and his followers win if we give up completely or stay silent. Those who will be in power want to isolate and separate us, it makes them stronger and us weaker. However, we are stronger together. As Kamala Harris said, “When we fight, we win.”

For now, please use self-care: actively protect your own wellbeing and happiness - exercise, journal, practice gratitude, meditate, etc. and surround yourself with people who will help you stay strong in these difficult times. If you ever feel down and like this is futile (I’ve felt this a lot recently), remember that this kind of thing has happened in history before, and humankind survived. Please take this note of encouragement and do something in the community if you are able. Best wishes and know there are many others out there who will be fighting back, please be one of them.
