I love Mykki Blanco.

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

My favorite topical tweets are the ones that put a tweet in context so it illuminates a deeper truth or societal trend.

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.

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

Amazon's been around for 24 years, and now they're doing what any 24-year-old does: move to New York and gentrify a neighborhood.

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

On a 1 to 10 scale, I don't think that I could model, but I could definitely end a Republican senator's career.

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

Is socialism still for me if I'm a millennial millionaire?

I love St. Vincent. She is like our queer rock goddess and that's so needed.

You want young people to vote, make Election Day a national holiday.

I think pop music was going through a phase where it was like pop but dance-hall or pop but R&B. But, no, I just want a pop song.

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

I don't need a driver's license, my Uber driver needs a driver's license.

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.

The urge to push the concept of sex and sexuality into the fringes of the human experience is so bizarre to me.

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

Nothing screams 'I'm desperate for attention' like tweeting in all caps.

The news can by very cyclical. The same issues are coming up over and over and over again.

I go through my tweets while writing and be like, 'Oh, this has staying power and is still relevant.'

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

Twitter is comedy writing. It's one-liners that give way to fully fleshed-out thoughts.

My parents are Jamaican immigrants and both have a multiracial background. They're Jamaican but my genetic makeup is West African, European, Asian.

Fact check: The examples of failed socialism that critics use are not socialist democracies but authoritarian states led by corrupt, ruthless, and paranoid dictators.
