Hello Again #2
on Laura Dern, instagram reels, and who "owns" a joke
Hello yet again!
This is just my second post and already I am struggling to keep the schedule I set for myself. Last time I tried to do a newsletter I don’t even think I got past two posts? I guess they say three makes a pattern, so hopefully we will find that to be true next week.

My tour starts next week! Please save yourself from fomo and get tix at that link or one of these: LA, SF, Portland, Seattle (early & late shows)!
Check out my ep of Boys Club with Nico Carney & Conor Janda! We discuss alcoholic comics vs drug addict comics, trans guys vs gays guys, and my dream to open a service that gives makeovers to trans men.
Ok that’s enough brags! On to the real stuff.
I have to say, when I re-upped this newsletter I assumed I would be doing mostly free posts to tempt you into subscribing for pay. But some of you have already come on as paid subscribers (thank you!) so I have to start delivering on the Secret Content. I think I’ll keep writing mostly free posts for fun, but paywall when I have something Juicy to say. Something I’m working on in general is closing the gap between my public persona (your queer bff) and my real personality (kind of a cunt), so this seems like a good way to cunt up in semi-public.
Consider this your chance for the week to peek behind the veil…
Thots: on joke “ownership,” parallel thought, and (something else)
Last week after a show, someone approached me to let me know a punchline I’ve been saying (and loving to say!) is quite similar to
