James Gunn, director, mischief-maker, and one of the few people keeping the DC cinematic universe from fully imploding, recently said something that smacked me right in my over-caffeinated frontal lobe: “The movie industry is dying… because people are making movies without a finished screenplay.” Mic.

Today, I did the unthinkable. I mixed it up. I broke the rhythm, cracked the routine, gave the rulebook a slightly suspicious side-eye and yes, I ate a chicken salad sandwich before drinking my coffee. I know. Who am I? Let’s start with the chicken salad situation. I’ve […]
Listen, I’m sprawled in my bathtub, pruning like a philosophical raisin, and the world’s out there doing its best impression of a five-alarm dumpster fire. Bubbles are popping, my lavender bath bomb is fizzing out like my last shred of motivation, and my brain’s serving up a word […]
It’s officially summer. The season of sunshine, sandals, and spontaneous joy. The time of year when, according to every influencer and CVS seasonal aisle, I’m supposed to be glowing, hydrated, energized, and possibly twirling in a field of wildflowers.

This past weekend, the French Open gave us more than just tennis. It gave us a gritty, sweaty, glorious masterclass in resilience. Both Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz reminded us that it’s not how you start, but how you finish. And oh, did they finish. Alcaraz clawed his […]
You ever wake up on a Monday and just know in the pit of your stomach, the ache in your knees, the existential sigh before your first cup of coffee—that the week ahead is going to be long? Like…crawling-through-wet-cement long? That was me this week. Before I even […]
