What a year. I bought a house, published my first book and took it to 4 conventions. I joined Kickstarter's community advisory council. The whole way, I met a lot of incredible people, deepened friendships, and added to my weird rag-tag found family. I'm truly grateful for all of it. #2025

Thinking about today. Feeling the weight of it. The lives needlessly cut short. Knowing that I could have been among them. It's a lot, and it's easy to get numb to it. While we ought to honor the siblings we lost, we should also remember... #TDoR #TDoR2025 #TransDayOfRemembrance

A reader got in touch to tell me they enjoyed RLH and loved a particular line:

“We’re agents of pure chaos that build ourselves cages of structure and calculation.”

Compliments like that are so humbling. ♥️
