Mama Scott

Last Monday I was told Ms. Scott was in the hospital and it didn’t look good. It fucked up my entire week. Ms. Scott is larger than life, the best English teacher I ever had. From the time I first walked into Pearl-Cohn Comprehensive/Business Magnet High School two things were absolutely certain: I had to…

5 Best Memories of 2011

I know 2011 was a decent year but as I sat down to make this list, I couldn’t think of anything. Like… At all. I drew a blank. I had to call upon my agent, Michelle, and I think we have good little list here. These were some of the better things that happened this year. I don’t think I…

This is How it Should Be Done

When I was a freshman at San Francisco State, my English composition professor had us all write satire based on the practice of trying minors as adults. We also researched and wrote actual papers on the subject, but we did the satire first. I don’t think I’m funny and she used…

Which Comes First…?

I have four brothers and two dads, but only one mother. Growing up I thought I was a “daddy’s girl,” but that’s totally false. I am, and have always been My Mama’s Daughter. I love the relationship I have with my mother. No one rides for me like she does. Sometimes I wonder if my relationship…

Jeremy Austin-Richard Hill

Fourteen years ago today, my third brother was born. He’s my mom’s son, and he looks a lot like Dad.
