I just love how Expedition 33 really distills the Millennial experience of “hey guys it seems like we’re facing the death of the future much sooner than we should because of the mistakes of the past you guys wanna build a big gun and try to kill god?”

I feel like I've been sitting on this news forever!! If you loved The Unmothers, good news! I wrote another super weird folk horror book just for you.

The man is standing in the rubble of the White House bombing other countries, kidnapping their leaders, torturing innocent people. It’s a horror. It’s beyond contempt.

So, next month is usually NANOWRIMO, but I know a lot of people have been shaken by the organization's meltdown. If you still want to take on the challenge and track your progress I put my tracker on my website, free for download. I hope it's helpful!

"Locker room talk," "just a college chat," "quotes taken out of context"..... I think I see a pattern emerging.

My fellow white women, do not look away from the disgusting behavior of your sons and husbands. And if you agree with them, may God forgive you.

One of the worst parts of being alive in this era is being ruled by deeply incurious people when the universe is absolutely teeming with wonder. We can’t even think recreationally anymore

One of the hardest parts of teaching kids chores is that they are short and the things that need done are up high.

My phone never ever ever automatically connects to my car, no matter how much I want it to, except for this morning when it decided to play The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald at full volume at 8am.

This is actually how I read my first comics! I don't know why the Qwik Mart had a comic section, but I will always be grateful.

One frog to meme them all,
One comic strip created.
One frog resists them all
In Portland- green, inflated.
