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 […]
Ah, Monday. That day of the week that creeps in like a clogged toilet you hoped would magically fix itself overnight. Every week, without fail, Monday rears its grimy head and reminds you: The pipes are jammed. Again.Not just the ones in the kitchen sink but the ones […]
Well, I finally did it. I caved and watched Inventing Anna, the Netflix miniseries about the fake German heiress who scammed New York’s social elite, financial institutions, and a few unfortunate souls trying to pay their rent. It’s one of those shows I sidestepped for years, like a […]
Apparently, in Norway, not only are the fjords majestic, but the citizens also possess superpowers like the ability to sleep through a 500-foot container ship crash-landing on their front lawn. Yes, Johan Helberg of Byneset woke up not because of the world’s loudest alarm clock, but because a […]

Let’s dive into some of madness. […]

You ever get that look? That “Are you mad at me?” look. That “Why aren’t you responding to my third message in 30 seconds?” That “You’re being quiet and I don’t like it” energy? Yeah. That one. Well here’s the thing: I’m not being distant. I’m buffering. Like […]
Ah, Monday. Again. But not just any Monday. No, today we face the Monday before the good Monday. The Monday that has the audacity to show up before a long weekend. A tease. A trickster. The broccoli before dessert. Let’s not pretend it’s an ordinary Monday. It’s got […]
Let’s talk about the dog days of summer. Not because it’s sweltering (though it is for some already) and not because your AC unit is giving you side-eye from overuse, but because I’ve been pondering whether dogs really know or care that it’s summer? The phrase “dog days […]
