Humor & Satire
Scroll ↓
I’m a humor and satire writer whose work is published in places like The New Yorker, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Points in Case, and Slackjaw. I enjoy mocking performative masculinity and fitness culture among other things, and I’m a fan of nerdy wordplay, the Oxford comma, and the rule of three.
