In her debut novel, Hagerty creates a moving and captivating piece about the limitations placed on women to stay the course and not make waves. It's good but not great. @williammorrow #bookreview #writingcommunity onthebl.org/2022/10/04/cla…

I'm at the age where my Facebook feed is filled with people I once-went-to-school-with's children, and, frankly, I don't care. I'd rather see their dogs or lattes. Or I don't know their inner demons keeping them up at night.

If you have to tell someone what the sexy part is, it's not the sexy part.

I broke my hand, and it almost broke me. As a writer, I no longer had a way to exist the way I need to in the world. #broken onthebl.org/2022/11/14/did…

I need a lot more money to boss people around the way I want to boss people around.

Music is a huge part of my life. So, this year, I made a playlist to keep me in check and also remind me it’s okay to be the bummer that I authentically am. Spotify #playlist #music onthebl.org/2023/02/01/11-…

Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters allows readers into the daily struggle of what that looks like for queer and trans women from the very first page with humor, tenacity, and the mundane acceptance that this is life. #queer #transwomen #books onthebl.org/2023/02/02/pre…

April of 2022, I decided to consistently exercise. I did, then life happened. In November, I got a bougie ass gym membership. I've been lifting with regularishness for two months, and holy wow have there been some changes. #weightlifting #exercise #wlw onthebl.org/2023/02/06/11-…

I love a good mean listicle about my shortcomings. onthebl.org/2023/02/20/11-…

George Peabody Library has been the last thing to cross off my bucket list for several years. I finally did in October, and I was overwhelmed. Stendhals Syndrome played a role, but I finally realized the immensity of what I've done. #education #lgtbq onthebl.org/2023/02/23/rea…

Life without my family is hard. I won't lie. But it's so much easier than giving up who I am to be who they want me to be. Fitting into a too small box and swallowing the truth, I couldn't do it anymore. #writer #family #trauma onthebl.org/2023/03/02/i-d…

Nature has always made me feel like me. Hope at the top of a mountain, but my soul feels all its feelings when my toes are in the ocean. I've been knee-deep in nihilism for a long time. #writing #beach onthebl.org/2023/03/06/11-…

Over the course of almost 32 years, I've made up a lot of traditions. Because I can. #tradition #findingjoy onthebl.org/2023/04/24/11-…

Sarah Maslin Nir explores the humanity of horses and her connection to an animal that gave her a sense of belonging when she couldn't find it in the world or her family. #bookreview onthebl.org/2023/04/25/hum…

I have always been lonely. I have always wanted to make sure no one feels the same. So I do my best to show up for my people on their good days but especially on their bad. I fail at it often, but I try. #listicle #relationships onthebl.org/2023/05/01/11-…
