Dear Me, Congratulations! You finished another year on this planet and are about to embark on another one. You survived. You did not kill anyone for chewing too loudly on the train. You did not punch anyone in the face for not taking off their fucking backpack on the train. And you still have all…

I suck at "about me" summaries. I have an MFA in Creative Writing and I love to write. I used to sling coffee for a living, but now I am an administrative assistant. I am the friend who wanders around the world with little to no filters and blurts out every funny story idea that comes to me, but if I don't write them down immediately I forget. I can make almost anything sexual. I love reading Scorpio stereotypes.

A Few More Minutes
He has white dust on his black cargo pants. His backpack between his spread legs and a navy blue hoodie with white piping. The hood is up as he attempts to get a few more minutes of sleep, his right hand loosely curled around his right knee, his left arm crossed over his body and…
Allies Need Not Apply
“i don’t know if straight + cis people are fully aware of this, but literally the only function of including “allies” as a category to participate in scholarships, intra-group discussions, trips, etc. is to provide a cover for those LGBTQ+ people who are not out. that is it. that is the purpose of “allies,” outside of…
Headphones
Thank whoever first invented headphones because otherwise I would have already been incarcerated for life. There is a woman who, even though I can’t hear her, is making my skin crawl. She is working that gum like a cow chewing cud and I want to cry. Her mouth never shuts and I can hear the…
Indirectly Holding Hands
She had her hands wrapped around the subway pole like a cup of coffee, her fingers interlaced on the far side. Her nails were long and had a nude colored paint on then except for her two ring fingers which had stripes on them. My paler, red-nailed hand was below hers and as she talked…
Resting Aneurysm Face
He has resting aneurysm face. He looks simultaneously pissed and ready to have a heart attack. Backpack between his knees and store bought ripped jeans. Black v-neck t-shirt that clings to his form well. He looks more contemplative when the train is in motion and borderline alarmed every time it enters the station. His intensity…
This week and last week ten years ago
Hey All, Sorry that I have been a little bit sporadic lately. I do have a funny Farley post on the brain, but I am having trouble figuring out how to present it. Do I want it to come from Anne or from Farley? It could be fun from either point of view, but I…
Hey Asshole
(I considered starting this letter with “Dear Subway Harassers,” but that was much too kind for the kind of shit you pull day in and day out. Last week I put out a letter to vulnerable subway riders and as I published it on my blog I had the realization that I was doing it…
