Is a little chaos actually good for us? I have a theory. A little chaos is good for us. Not the kind of chaos that destroys everything. Not the “hide your passport and call your lawyer” kind of chaos. I mean the kind that throws your back against […]
What villain actually had a good point? I’ve been thinking lately about villains. A lot. I’ve been binging on true documentaries as if they were dumplings (which I cannot get enough of, seriously). Here’s the thing. Not the cartoonish, twirl-the-mustache, burn-it-all-down types. Not the ones who are evil […]
There’s something about those eerie small-town shows, such as Haven or even the newer Widows Bay, which have the foggy coastlines, the tight-lipped locals, the sense that everyone knows something except you, that gets under the skin in a way jump scares never could. Because they’re not really […]
Apparently, 1 in 5 Americans believes they’re psychic. One in five. Which means statistically, at least a few people reading this already “knew” I was going to write this. Congratulations. Please use your powers responsibly. I’ll admit it, I’ve felt it too. That eerie, low-grade hum in your […]
I don’t know when my morning commute turned into an armory run, but here we are. Some people find pennies on the sidewalk. Others find feathers, “signs from the universe,” or if they’re especially curated heart-shaped rocks. I, apparently, find weapons. Not metaphorical ones. Actual, honest-to-goodness, sharpened pieces […]
Apparently, somewhere in Spain, a physicist woke up and chose chaos. How so? By proving that humans, across cultures, ages, and continents, cannot for the life of us walk in a straight line. We drift left. Universally. Our feet drift left. Like some subtle, collective lean toward mischief […]
There is a very specific kind of problem no one warns you about in adulthood. That is becoming too well-loved at your favorite bar or restaurant. You know the place. They know your name. They know your drink. They know how you like your food. You like extra […]
Apparently, new research suggests that leaders who oppose remote work may have higher levels of narcissism. The theory? They crave attention. Validation. The admiring gaze of employees nodding in conference rooms and laughing just a little too hard at their jokes. And listen, I love a good psychological […]
I am increasingly convinced that my dog has a severe case of FOMO. Not mild. Not occasional. I’m talking full-blown, body-check-you-on-the-stairs, “no one leaves without me” levels of fear of missing out. If there is movement toward a door, he is there. If a shoe is being put […]
Fourteen years ago, I started a blog with absolutely no plan. No content calendar.No brand strategy.No “voice and tone” guide approved by a committee of people who say things like “circle back.” Just vibes. And yet, here we are. Fourteen years later. Still typing. Still observing. Still mildly […]
