I'm reposting because my audience has been a lot of teenagers at #edfringe this month and I'm very grateful for their collective hilarious outlook.

Okay #nursetwitter please let folks know about this show. Finally something ABOUT nurses using the words and stories of actual NURSES. And not people who think we still wear hats.

There's still one more #QueerDiary show at #edfringe23 and if your queer heart needs a little queer warmth and some lovely queer humor, that's the place to find in at the #edfringe! #FillYerBoots #fillyerstilettos

I want to suggest that an actual ex-nun who is also hilarious is the perfect person to play a funny cranky middle-aged warrior nun. Starting my stage fight class now.

Celebrate #fatbottomedgirls- check out the work of burlesque diva Heather MacAllister, (middle in this image), whose troupe was photographed by Leonard Nimoy for the Full Body Project. My show in #edfringe23 shares much of her glorious life...and death. And community.

Thanks so so much to MSP Mackay and Friends at the End for making this lovely conversation happen. It's amazing the connections when we talk about death & end of life wishes. It's one of the kindest things you can do for someone you love, even (or perhaps especially) if it's hard.

So #EdFringe2023 performers (#FillYerBoots) tell me about the non-tangible gifts of performing/bringing your show. I'll start: two afternoons ago, a mom/daughter dyad left having conversations about end of life care. Daughter said "I can never get her to talk about this."

So great performing w/ warm/funny Rabiah Coon - Comedian at Chris O' Neill's Tinder Tales at #edfringe. Also at Fringe I was mistaken for an accountant & Diva called me their "trusty" correspondent, so I'm pretty sure my mom would have been equally pleased w/ my August escapades.

On one of my comedy specials I have bits about 1. Being patient zero for a queer flu pandemic and 2. Queers at a 12 step meeting for survivors of the climate/zombie apocalypse. That was only seven years ago. #notagingwell

If there is anything anything anything I can think of that I'd rather do than tell stories with other nurses, well, I can't really think about what it would be. Virtual! Free and open to everyone. Nurses telling stories!

I'm performing at the Kentucky State Student RN Conference on Feb 10th. And I'll be at a booth during the day. Theoretically selling books but mostly I'll be hosting nursing students with some "you can do it" coloring sheets and chatting. Stop by! ourkans.org
