The Internet has created so many niche audiences that when millions or even thousands of people can be on the same page it's a truly special thing.

I love Mykki Blanco.

Voting is designed for old people.

I went to Catholic schools my entire life and never had anything close to a cis heterosexual sexual education let alone a queer one. Everything I learned was trial and error or the Internet or 'Talk Sex with Sue Johanson.'

One time I spent more than $40 on groceries, and my bank thought someone stole my debit card.

After the 'Fallon' set, I had a lot of queer people message me about how much it meant to see a queer perspective on late night TV.

For me, I didn't really have family that was in entertainment. I didn't really grow up with an uncle that's a TV writer or something, so I didn't even know that it was possible at all. I slowly learned more about it and ended up here. I want people to not be discouraged by the fact that they don't have a legacy in Hollywood that's bringing them in.

I accomplished a lot in 2017 that I'd dreamt of: a late night set, TV writing gig, a speaking movie role.

Developing a following and maintaining that is so much free labor - just for the love of it.

Whatever I'm writing has seemed to be about something I don't feel I could freely express in my everyday life, and stand-up is a really effective medium for getting people to hear exactly the things and viewpoints that they normally don't want listen to.

I definitely post a lot of memes and content that's isolated to Twitter that I wouldn't be able to do on stage because a live crowd doesn't have that same frame of reference.

I've been doing some acting, writing classes, and taking a holistic approach so I can actually be good at this craft. But ideally I'd eventually want to get my own show and make my 'Atlanta' or my 'Master of None' - whatever that would look like - in whatever media landscape that would best suit it.

I'm friends with Kehlani - she's a LGBTQ icon.

There's a lot of times when I just want to scream into the void.

For memes, I have an entire iPhone folder of photos that I've taken or saved because I find something about them hilarious.

Once I started getting serious about standup I got a better handle on word economy and making jokes punchier, which translated well to Twitter.

But I do have one real problem with socialism: I like money.
