q: where am i? what is this?
This is hi, lauren deborah! β which is essentially my digital journal β where I do not pretend to be an expert on anything but I do lean into the fact that I cannot shut up. Someone once tried to sass me by calling me a chronic oversharer and now I have an entire βbrandβ built off of it so thank youuuuuuuu for the inspo!
I mostly talk about my sexuality, sobriety, and my excessive celebrity crushes π π€ β¨π
q: what will land in my inbox?
π Queer joy with new episodes of my podcast, My Dad Stole My Limelight.
π The digital journal of a chronic oversharer β a new volume of my writing β with a prompt for you to answer in the comments, if you wish.
