There are no Winners Here

Fandoms, Scandals, Social Media, and the Celebrity Slaughterhouse Early in the pandemic (as in the entirety of 2020) I thought I might be witnessing the imminent death of celebrity culture. I had read a great piece in POPSUGAR by Mekishana Pierre tracking its downfall. Mekishana astutely observed that while nobody wanted to hear from celebrities about unity or…

Remembering Why I Write (A Letter)

Amanda, Seven years ago you were lost. Recovering from a manic episode that left you unmoored, you wandered into a room where people were reading poetry. And remembered who you were, and could be again. Poetry was an anchor, holding you still enough to retrace the route. …

A Love Letter to Tangible Things.

Everything is grey. The wildfires in Oregon and California have formed a fog of smoke that sits over a city resigned to its existence. It’s easy to be resigned to our failures. I sat on the beach with an old co-worker on Sunday. We got stoned and stared out at…

Covid Dreams: The Importance of Acknowledging Uncertainty

I wake up. My eye is swollen shut and itchy. Walking to the health clinic masked faces judge me and when I do get there the doctor says he is, “very disappointed” with how irresponsible I’ve been. I have pink eye, which means I was around people and must have…

In Defense of Spite

Around this time last year I wrote an article for Optimistic Learner called “Slight and Spite: Salving the Stings of Social Exchange”, because this lady loves alliteration as much as neuroendocrinology and game theory damnit. It was a practical piece, where I set spite up as the toxic cousin to…
