about the author

Jody Galadriel Friend is a writer, musician, actress, artist, producer, nerd, witch, and five-foot-ten neurodivergent southern-bred goth absolute dreamboat babe who currently resides in Indianapolis, Indiana.

She is the frontwoman of queer Appalachian doom punk band Public Universal Friend, waits tables, contemplates the void, and wrote this book instead of selling everything she owns and moving to Scotland and becoming a sheep farmer.

Queers think she’s a reductionist quasi-religious culturally ignorant bimbo and conservatives think she’s a philosophically irresponsible socialist bimbo with a God complex. None of it matters. We are all dust.
