Well, here we go again. Another day, another radioactive animal warning. The FDA has now cautioned us not to eat certain Great Value frozen shrimp at Walmart due to possible contamination with a radioactive isotope. Yes, radioactive shrimp. Not just spoiled, not just salmonella-laced, not just “smells like […]
You know life has gotten stressful when even your intestines can’t tell if they’re angry or just moody. Enter the alphabet soup of the gut: IBD vs. IBS. To the untrained ear, they sound like two competing indie bands at Coachella. To your body, they’re worlds apart; but […]
Here’s the thing about waiting for the sunrise or the sunset: you can devote your whole self to it by plopping down in a chair, drink in hand, eyes locked on the horizon like it’s the world’s slowest Broadway show and somehow, you’ll still miss it. The universe […]
Sometimes life feels like crossing a desert with no map. The air shimmers, the horizon wavers, and in our longing, we convince ourselves that the blur ahead is an oasis of shade, water, relief. But more often than not, when we finally stumble closer, we realize it was […]
There’s this old biblical phrase I stumbled on again: “never blew an uncertain trumpet.” Basically, it means someone always gave a clear call, never muddled or half-hearted. No room for confusion. Which got me thinking about how rare is that these days? Most of life seems to be […]
The other night, I was swimming alone in a beautifully lit pool, the water glowing turquoise in the dark. You’d think I’d be lost in the moment; zen, tranquil, Instagram-worthy. Instead, my mind wandered straight into Archive 81 territory, because apparently I can’t even do a peaceful backstroke […]

Recently, fans at WNBA games have been tossing neon-green sex toysonto the court—yes, you read that right. These bizarre projectiles have disrupted games in cities like Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, […]
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time? People love to play that hypothetical game of “If you could only carry one thing with you..” And usually, it’s practical stuff. Wallet. Keys. Cell phone. The classics. But here’s the thing. Wallets are becoming […]
There’s something magical about watching my dogs operate as a pack. Not magical in the Disney-princess-singing-to-birds kind of way. It’s more like the “oh dear lord, the neighbors think we’ve lost it” kind of way. It usually starts with the middle one. He’s the ringleader. The union boss. […]
At night, I flick on my little red lamp. Not because I’m running a secret photography darkroom. Not because I’m signaling passing ships. And no, it’s not because I’ve suddenly decided to become the neighborhood’s “woman of intrigue.” It’s because that red glow does something to me. It […]
