I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
I have been on a bit of a robot kick lately. Not the terrifying, we-built-this-and-now-it-has-feelings kind (though, give it time), but the quieter, more existential kind. The kind that slips into your morning coffee like, “Wait, what does it mean to be anything anymore?” Enter: Gabi. Gabi is […]
There are shows you “watch,” and then there are shows that sit in your nervous system for a few days afterward like they’ve forgotten to check out. Should I Marry a Murderer? is very much the second kind. At first glance, you think you’re signing up for true […]
What’s a mystery from your own life that you’ve never solved? I’ve been “resilient” for as long as I can remember. Not in the cute, inspirational poster way, with a lotus flower rising from mud. But in the quiet, clinical way adults say it when they’ve decided you […]
April, you chaotic overachiever. While flowers were blooming and people were frolicking (who are these people?), we were knee-deep in acceptance letters, portals, financial aid packages, and the kind of decision-making that makes you question every life choice you’ve ever made, including what you had for breakfast in […]
There are moments in life when society’s rules feel less like guidance and more like suggestions written by someone who has never truly been hungry. Which brings me to a gem from The Onion. A man, bold and unburdened, who reportedly said “duck it” and ate lunch at […]
Somewhere between the velvet ropes of glory and the folding chairs of “we regret to inform you,” lives a curious little purgatory called almost. Enter Diego Pavia. Once whispered in the same breath as the Heisman Trophy, now conspicuously absent from the draft board like the last guest […]
I recently stumbled upon a post, because of course I did since he algorithm knows I enjoy a good existential spiral, about research suggesting that “haunted” places may not be haunted at all. I’ll pause for the collective gasp. Apparently, those eerie feelings of not being alone, of […]
A controversial new shoe has entered the chat. And by “shoe,” I mean a suggestion of a shoe. A whisper of a shoe. A heel that went on a diet and lost its entire sense of purpose. Chanel debuted its Cruise 2027 collection in Biarritz, and among the […]
There’s a particular kind of advice that floats around like a motivational screensaver. That advice is to never regret being a good person. It sounds lovely. Clean. Almost saint-adjacent. And then you meet people. Not all people. But enough of them. The ones who take your kindness, hold […]
The Met Gala is upon us again. That glittering, slightly absurd, deeply exclusive pageant where fashion meets art meets “how much did that cost and why am I suddenly sweating?” Let’s begin with the numbers, because nothing says couture like a mild financial panic. This year, a ticket […]
