Darling, Get a Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I woke up a new woman, legs turned to wet soil, veins growing roots, heavy to the earth, spinny, nauseas (I finally remembered how to spell this when I heard it in my mind as ‘nah-seas’) with arms and legs and head aching. A flare! Flare is a beautiful word, and I picture the flare of HELP and RESCUE ME flying into the sky, crackling and bright, to get attention, focus, notice. Which makes flare a wonderful word for what happens in our bodies when we-who have autoimmune diseases and/or chronic i
New Career (opens the original)
Read excerpt
First, the InteriorAs you might know, I got fired from Barnes & Noble for being late one too many times. It’s not that simple, really, but it’s easy to sum it up that way. The new manager is, in my opinion, a gem of a person in many ways- I personally found her adorable- but terrible at managing.

On the Hunt for A Brand (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The days are 90 or 95 degrees and it’s oddly humid, and the gorgeous slowness that this produces is completely at odds with the urgency of which I need to make money, get a job, figure it out. I look through jobs, apply, watch YouTube’s on CapCut and Claude and social media selling and get sick to my stomach with the avalanche of selling opportunities the algorithm then launches me into, e-commerce! TikTok Shop! Facebook afilliate links! Amazon affiliate links! YouTube monetization! AI drop-ship
