Some people wake up to coffee. I wake up to headlines about three lab monkeys escaping from a crashed transport truck in Mississippi. Because apparently the universe flipped open its old pandemic screenplay binder and said, “Let’s workshop a new pilot.” I mean three lab monkeys.Running loose. In […]
I woke up Sunday morning to the familiar flicker-flash of my lights going out. Just boop. Total darkness. Then boop the lights came back on like nothing happened. At this point, Con Edison and I are in a toxic relationship. They gaslight me. Literally. But instead of spiraling […]
I was half-watching, half petting my tiny dog, half-wondering why I always end up rewatching random Hallmark-adjacent Christmas movies (yes, my math is terrible), when I found myself tuning into Same Time, Next Christmas. And there was a plot twist for me in that the male lead was […]
