an image of a left-handed white person thumb with a silver ring and a dark purple painted nail, holding two photographs of Lena as a child on a camping trip. they are about eight years old, have a brown bowl cut with bangs, and are wearing a purple puffy jacket. — my version of the Simpsons DO IT FOR HER meme: I’m DOING IT, whatever that means, for Little Lena. this little person deserves to grow into a creative, unburdened, joyful adult. <3

CAPS LOCK started as a TinyLetter (RIP) that ran, first regularly and then sporadically, from 2016 to 2019. It was a mix of personal essay-type content, culture commentary, WATCHING/READING/LISTENING recommendations, some well-meaning answers to reader-submitted advice questions, and pictures of sea otters.

These days, CAPS LOCK is very much an “under construction” situation. I’m a Writer™️ across a few different genres so I don’t exactly know where this experiment will take us—but I’m happy to have you along for the ride! I like to think of myself as an Expert Enthusiast, a Fanfic Archivist, and a Known Hater of Bullies, so if those descriptors resonate with you, you’ve come to the right place.
