Yesterday I went to the British Museum and saw so many people touching the art. Leaning on 5,000-year-old sarcophagus. Fingers on oil paintings. Brushing against ancient pottery. DO NOT TOUCH signs everywhere. Uplifting to know all of Earth is doomed because we can’t follow simple directions.

Sometimes I feel like that Star Trek Voyager episode where everyone is actually biomimetic gel. I feel like I’m just a confused, stupid disintegrating gel.

I think I’m happier and more fulfilled than like 75% of the people who don’t have stage IV cancer. lmao

I am incredibly lucky that my friend loaned me her copy of YARGO, Jacqueline Susann’s first novel. I can’t wait to read it and see how her worldview tackles sci-fi and falling in love with alien guys. Also, hella range! You wrote V of the D but started with a book about having sex with an alien?!?

Massachusetts, winter 2026. March 8. Saw the ground today finally.

Love this one.

In January, we went inside the Dilley detention center. Children shared letters describing the anguish of being ripped from their lives: propub.li/4cUHm8L After publishing that story, we learned about Edison, a 13-year-old from Chicago detained for 2+ months. Listen to Edison in his own words 👇

Here’s meta AI helpfully suggesting I turn a photo of myself the day I finished taxol chemo, one of the worst events of my life, into a cute anime pic. Anyway the chemo didn’t work and I’m stage 4 now. Thanks for reminding me 😍😍😍

If the March snow is dragging you down, you’re REALLY not gonna like the May snow.

I want to start a club of women with spinal fusion surgery and call it “sisters of the rod”

Hot off the angry lady machine

My favorite person drew this picture of us holding hands with crowns on 😭

NEW: How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention 9-year-old Maria Antonia begged her mom to take her to the park’s annual Halloween celebration. But as soon as she arrived at Miami International Airport, everything started going wrong.

I am so tired of wearing boots. I want to wear my colorful sneakers. Chunky sandals. Knockoff plastic Birkenstocks. Horsebit loafers. Those adidas sandals that massage your feet.

My studio intern started today and I really like her 🥹 also I somehow got a studio intern

Italians, your white card has been revoked. Stefani Germanotta is a perfidious latin

I’m Laura Ingalls Wild’n out in this snowstorm

I do not conflate authority with respect.

Doing a lot of sowing right now. No big deal but probably gonna be reaping soon

Everyone who wants to buy a big truck should have to take a spatial awareness test. Stop driving in the middle of the road bc you’re too nervous of your own dang truck.

256 people have signed up for my “essentials of digital marketing” workshop via Assets for Artists next week. 256!!!! Sign of the times for sure…looking forward to sharing my marketing predictions for 2026 and talking about how to manage promoting your work in a super precedented but very ugly time

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

There is no drug like something being not as bad as you thought it was going to be.

My spider is molting and I’m so happy about it

POV you have too much going on

Around every week I tell him “all girls who like to brush and comb should have a pet like this at home!”

My body right now: you may have 15 minutes of activity for every 45 minutes of rest.

In the last months, because I have a jumping spider, I have seen two different kinds of feeder worms turn into two different kinds of beetles. So I know that I can do it too

My aunt on my grandfather: "He was the best dad a girl could ever have! He did have a drinking problem but it wasn’t an everyday thing. An occasional bender I guess you’d call it."

I don’t even work full time bro what is this

I have (mostly) stopped doing PR for other people in 2026 but I’m very proud that this interview I edited for Catherine made it into the Missouri Review! Her book, the Apple Tree, is excellent and I love her descriptions of synesthesia. missourireview.com/catherine-ar...

I think I should get a tarantula

Silver lining of having a port in my chest and a rod in my spine and missing one tit is I meet the definition of cyborg.

It’s ok if you didn’t read 99 books this year.

I have 50 pages left in Children of Time and I can’t sit down to finish it until tonight bc I have a four year old and it’s the day after Christmas….anguish

Bruh. As a stage IV patient I’m just so sick of this. There are so many real life stage 4 young people doing incredible things FOR REAL and this guy just had a decent understanding of PR to go with his grift. www.webworm.co/bewareofdoug/

47/100 done

If you worked on Dinosaur Train and helped write the song about beelzebufo the giant prehistoric frog, I just want you to know I appreciate u

Filling out all the cards that go with gifts I made for other friends with stage 4 cancer and…fuck, I know so many other people with stage 4 cancer now. It’s a complicated feeling. I love us all and wish us protection in 2026.

Hell yeah. Keep it up

People constantly compliment my wonderful husband and are like how did you find such an amazing man? Folks, he’s my SECOND husband. Sometimes you have to try a second time to really know what you want and deserve. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
