a blog about diabetes, body image, and other stuff
A series of reflections on what was one of the hardest (and most rewarding) weeks of my life, presented in random order (with photos by June Xie): This was really hard. Also, fun. Also, profoundly satisfying in the way only something this hard (and scary, and fun, and scary, and hard) could be Turns out, … Continue reading Reflections on the Type What Now run
some photos from opening night: attempting to stay calm back stage (and taking selfies) to the dulcet tones of nicki minaj: (can you tell how nervous i am?)

And the team is very excited. And nervous. And terrified. But also excited. We open tomorrow!

Thanks so much to Jiuxing June Xie for these amazing photos! And one bonus, of me and Stefan collaborating and obviously doing something very important and theater-y. I like to … Continue reading Sneak Peek

He … Continue reading Meet the Team: Stefan
In February of this year, amidst the meat-gorging, I also quietly celebrated the 1 year anniversary of getting diabetes by sitting down at my computer, looking over these blog posts, and doing what I do best.
