Breaking news from the Garden State. New Jersey is bringing cursive handwriting back to elementary schools. Third through fifth graders will once again loop, swirl, and dramatically cross their t’s like it’s 1897 and the fountain pen lobby finally got its way. On one hand Gen Z famously […]
There’s always that family member who takes the holidays a little too far. You know who I mean The one who disappears midway through dessert only to be found later curled up in the guest bathroom, cuddling a hand towel like it’s a long-lost lover. Well, this year, […]
The other night I was scrolling through my Apple TV streaming options, half-looking for a new series, half-procrastinating on actual work, when I landed on Platonic. Cute, funny show. I’ve enjoyed it. But what really got me laughing wasn’t the dialogue. It was the about page. Apparently, Platonic […]
Hospitals are strange universes. Time is warped, fluorescent lights are merciless, and even the air smells faintly of bleach and bureaucracy. I had been sitting there for what felt like eternity. Waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more. Of course, I had once again forgotten to bring my […]
I am a dog person. Through and through. 100% bark-over-meow certified. I love their loyalty, their goofy excitement over the mundane, and the way they flop over dramatically like life is a stage and they’re the main act (which they are). I have three. They’re my ride-or-die snuggle […]
I am, without a doubt, a walking buffet for bugs. Mosquitoes see me and roll out the red carpet. I don’t know what it is—my blood type, my Bronx-born bravado, or just the sheer deliciousness of my aura—but to bugs, I’m five-star dining. Meanwhile, my travel companions are […]
Here I go again. My wacky news post of the week. I just have to. I need to. The world has been a whirlwind lately, with everything feeling like it’s spinning faster than a carousel on caffeine. Between global news headlines that make my head spin and personal […]
Imagine, if you will, a perfectly ordinary Tuesday disrupted by the most extraordinary of events: your beloved dog, who until now has communicated solely through tail wags, barks, and the occasional interpretive sneeze, suddenly utters a single, cryptic phrase: *“I know the truth.”* And then—silence. Not another bark, […]
If you’re having a bad day, let me share a little nugget of joy I stumbled upon in the depths of TikTok: There’s supposedly a help desk at the Vienna airport in Austria specifically for people who landed there thinking they were headed to Australia. Yes, you read […]
There’s something about the ridiculousness of lies that sometimes makes them amusing—especially when they spiral into the absurd. Case in point: Tony’s memorable line to Abby on NCIS, “You don’t bowl with nuns. I should have seen that coming.” I laughed, not just because it’s outlandish, but because […]
