  • Sycamore… or Club West? Why We Should Support the Rebrand

    How do we differentiate righteous anger from moving forward in a way that actually supports survivors and community healing? Okay, let’s talk about Sycamore Brewing. Yeah, that Sycamore. The one that made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The one* former owner? Absolutely horrendous. The community? Shocked. And me? Definitely screaming at my phone a…

  • After the Verdict

    Justice, Power, and the Cost of Telling the Truth I have learned that justice, truth, accountability, and closure are often treated as interchangeable concepts when they are not. A legal conviction can represent justice in the narrowest sense while failing to restore anything that was taken from the person who was harmed. It can affirm…

  • The Pattern Recognition

    An observation about how meaning is algorithmically reinforced during periods of transition. I’ve been kind of quiet lately, and before anyone turns that into something it’s not, I want to say this upfront: I’m fine. I’m not spiraling, I’m not hiding, and I’m not avoiding people because something bad is happening. I’m just choosing to…

  • The Gray Area

    I joke about making an OnlyFans, but if I’m being real? I’m not above it. And honestly, I don’t judge the women who do it. What I’m intrigued by is why. Why is this a problem? Why is it such a cultural trigger? Don’t worry — I’m not saying this because I’m about to launch…

The Short Version My Clinical Diagnosis: I have Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. These are…

  • The Journal

    I am sharing parts of journal entries from the last year. May 27, 2025 I think I’m in remission. For real. It hit me the other day, somewhere between the deli counter and the pre-cut pineapple that always smells like passive-aggression and produce rot: I think I might be in remission. Like… borderline personality disorder…

  • The Ego Death

    A funeral. But it’s mine. I don’t mind talking about how someone hurt me. I really don’t. I can give you timelines, quotes, maybe a playlist. But I also don’t mind talking about how I reacted—because let’s be honest, a lot of the time I was the problem, too. My brain? It attacks. It spirals.…
