Ginny tweets what can only be described as "a reasonable amount" @ginnyhogan_. Her Twitter is the best way to find out where she's doing stand up, what she's writing, who she has a crush on, what she ate for breakfast, and perhaps the source of that rash. You can also subscribe to her monthly newsletter here.
