If you aren't often described as frolicsome, are you really living?
what a year. the bad: i had a mental breakdown! the good: i became a full-time comedy writer and an onion headline contrib and i placed second in slackjaw’s humor writing comp. i moved to LA & started doing pottery & wrote a feature & 2 pilots. life is weird and sometimes? good.

Thank you @30secondfriends for the opportunity to share my story about the power of generosity and kindness! ❤️🎅🏻
we've recently learned that the 30 Second Friend in this story by @acouture22 recently passed away 😢 thirtysecondfriendships.com/friendships/sc…

Well, this is cool and falls at the right movement to give me perspective. A little personal story about a mini moment during my cancer treatment 20yrs ago. Far away, yes, and ALWAYS, v close. If you’ve had cancer, you know.

I have no words, just emotions. I wrote an essay, “How to Name Your Black Son in a Racist Country” that I hope you’ll read: audacity.substack.com/p/how-to-name-… So grateful to @rgay and The Audacity team for picking my essay and for @megpillow for helping me take this essay to a new place.
they call us millennials because we’ve been alive for a thousand years
I’m so sorry y’all that I can’t let it go. But the speaker of the house thanking a Black man for his murder is just so horrific and also incredibly telling about this country’s relationship to Black people.
