Who are your current most favorite people? Let’s get one thing out of the way. I could absolutely say my favorite person right now is the Pope. He’s cool, he’s chill, and honestly both the current pope and the last one had that quiet “I see the absurdity […]
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 […]
