Lisa Marie Blair is a writer of personal essays and other creative nonfiction. They’re obsessed with questions and politely decline to end with definitive answers. Here, you’ll find musings and meditations on community, identity, love, loss, shame, anger, and other stories humans tell themselves. Lisa lives in Colorado with their wife and a small collection of animals. They run a 24/7 self-care operation to keep chronic illness and ADHD at a manageable level. On the rare occasion when they aren’t writing, you can find them on a mountain trail, in a new restaurant, reclined in the window seat of an airplane, or at home reading—or rotting—in bed.
