If I had pets and those pets had a veternarian that wasn’t helping us in any way shape or form, I would simply call this person Dr. Do Nothing

If I were Jay-Z and I were engaged, I would simply tell everyone β€œthis is my Feyoncé”

As an evangelical teenager in the year 2010, I believed with my entire chest that According to You by Orianthi was about Jesus.

The Voice would be infinitely funnier if the judges all started facing the auditioner and push the button to swivel around when they decide they don’t want you

The single least believable thing about Frozen to me is that Anna lived in that castle for 20ish years isolated and bored out of her mind and somehow never clocked that she owned 8,000 salad plates.

I don’t care how big your house is, if you own 8,000 salad plates, you’re going to notice

I have never once heard a song from Merrily so I’m choosing to believe β€œMerrily We Roll Along” is sung to the tune of β€œHere We Come a Wassailing”

Thinking about that time when I was a customer service rep speaking to someone named Nina and I accidentally said β€œthank you so much for calling, NeeNee”

The light at the end of the tunnel isn’t always a good thing.

I'm in the cast of a musical right now for the first time since high school. We're in rehearsal now and wow, (A) singing, dancing, and acting all at once is a lot of things and (B) I can let myself have so much more fun now that I'm comfortable in my body and masculinity

I recently got active on TikTok, which has led to the same content also being shared to YouTube! Quite proud of this one 🀣 youtube.com/shorts/s5H9m...

I feel like Glowing Luigi would get the idea to get really into crypto for like a week or a month or whatever and then get burned by it and then become vehemently anti-crypto

So You Remember 9/11 But Also Want to Get Active on TikTok... So I caved. I have a TikTok now.I guess it’s not exactly β€œnew”, I opened the account a couple years ago, but I never really did anything with it. It’s an interesting moment in the life of a Gen X-er o...

So there's a 3 in the front digit of my age, but this week I decided to get active on TikTok. And because there's a 3 in the front digit of my age, I wrote a blog post about it www.bypeterfenton.com/post/tiktok

My new website is coming together quite nicely! Still a few more things to populate before I can launch but I’m feeling like it accurately captures my voice and brand right now

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

I never got into my college's literary magazine. Eight semesters, eight rejections.

Almost nine years later, yesterday, I signed two agreements for short pieces of mine to be included in a nationwide anthology.
