I’m all about disability rights, accessibility and PUPPETRY! Based in Atlanta where I work in healthcare by day and make unhinged puppetry pieces by night. Frequently seen at the Puckin’ Fuppet Show and Dragon Con (and anywhere else that will have me)

My cheese grater is prepped for the Holiday Puckin’ Fuppet Show! Find out what that means this Saturday starting at 10 PM!

On a whim I went to see Kraven and was pleasantly surprised (I didn’t have high hopes).

I’m expecting! This beeeeautiful puppet from Kettlehead Studios will soon be flying from Seattle to Atlanta to live with meeeeeee!

I have so many lighting tricks I’m gonna try at the next slam! Maybe my light trickery will land ME a trick. That would certainly make the holidays bright and gay.

An interaction in Kroger: Her: “ you must not like anything on that shelf, you just keep shaking your head.” Me: “ I’m just trying to see.” 👨‍🦯‍➡️👨‍🦯‍➡️👨‍🦯‍➡️ *scene*

I thought you weren’t supposed to be able to read in dreams, but last night I dreamt that I got bumped from the next puppet slam and I could clearly read my name and see that it was crossed out. I woke up weirdly sad and stressed. Dreams be crazy.

I keep seeing raw milk posts in TikTok and IG. Like, what‽ Get out of here you lactose equivalent antivaxxers. Drink your poopy bird flu milk in shame and silence.

Today was better.

After taking in Bread and Puppet Theater’s show, some of my existential ennui from this morning is gone. (Fun fact: my blind ass was hit by a car ON International Persons with Disabilities Day!)

*inhales* AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Thank you.

While yelling at the car that hit me in the crosswalk this morning I clearly didn’t project from the diaphragm and now my throat hurts.

I’m listening to Angela Merkel’s book and wish that either 1- she read it herself or 2- had Tracey Ullman read it with her Merkel impression.

On my way walk into work today I broke through some caution tape at a closed off portion of sidewalk like I was winning a marathon. The Rob Thomas song was boppin’ in my ears, I had the gay gait in full swing and my eyes don’t work the way most people’s do. It was a recipe for success!

Interaction at Trader Joes: *woman bumps into me* Her: “I’m sorry, I didn’t see you.” Me: “Same! Haha!” Her: “thats’s not funny.” Me: “I thought it was hilarious. Have a good one!” *blinds off into the distance* Scene.

Inner monologue at the gym: “nobody look at me, nobody look at me, nobody look at me.” Get’s one compliment on form/strength: “🥰🥰🥰”

I found a use for my cheese grater that has nothing to do with cheese. #secrets (see how I use it at the Holiday Puckin’ Fuppet Show on 12/21 at the Center for Puppetry Arts!)

Wicked was the movie I desperately needed. So beautiful and well done. I am over the moon and already looking forward to seeing it again (and again and again). I’m sorry I ever doubted Ariana Grande #Wicked

Shouted at me as I’m applying Burt’s Bees at a bus stop: “That’s gay as fuck!” Sir, I can definitely top that… or bottom if needed…

My next slam piece has a title! “The Paradox of Light.” Ooooooh! What does it mean? Find out on 12/21 at 10pm at the Center for Puppetry Arts!

I was in a discussion of what super power you’d most like to have and my default has always been phasing. Imagine not having to worry about being grabbed/directed or hit by a car/bus/cyber truck. Life would be so much safer. Also, taking shortcuts would be a breeze. I don’t need to be flashy 🤣

But y tho? Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse. This. #CyberFail

Y’all. I’m stuck with a patient who has chaotic and (seemingly) boundless energy. Every interaction is long, stressful and filled with scream crying. I’m drained after every interaction. They don’t absorb any of the advice/feedback I give and just spirals. I feel crazy.

The walk in was lovely today. The right amount of rain so I wasn’t having to ford the street crossings, and had the ambiance of it hitting the umbrella. Fall was all around and my soul was singing. (As opposed to summer when it’s singeing)

Fight or flight 4ever

When a sighted person tries to “help,” be wary. So. Very. Wary.

Sneaking in some image editing for the holiday slam. I’m excited (and surprisingly ahead of schedule)

Things are so much better after the full moon at work. Last week was… a lot. Like interactions on the phone are considerably better. Although, it is just Monday.

Just in case anybody needed a reminder, never forget who controls the weather . #Pudge

Woke up feeling like a different (worse) person

So many puppetry ideas float through my head, I just sometimes lack the skills to execute them 🤣

Been mulling making a piece about “worth.” People with disabilities are too often seen as “takers,” rather than “contributors.” I’d like to alter that perception, if only for a few people…

Well, this is the place to be if THE @arettab.bsky.social is here! ♥️
