There’s a meme floating around that hit me right in the frontal lobe. You know the one. “The grass is greener on the other side because it’s fake.” Boom. Truth bomb in font size 16. Let’s talk about that seductive little patch of green across the metaphorical fence. […]
This morning, as I sipped my coffee and prepared to wrangle my inbox (and my spirit), I was reminded of a delicious little tweet from back in January 2022. Sam Altman, the AI guy with vision and caffeine-fueled ambition, had just introduced the world to ChatGPT. “Give it […]
It’s the first of May. My birthday month. A time when some people post their baby pictures, others their biggest flexes, and a few brave souls post their actual faces unfiltered. Meanwhile, I remain… strategically obscured. Un-selfied. A fog machine away from full noir. Let’s talk about that. […]
Today, I got one of those oh-so-helpful “On This Day” memory nudges from my cloud drive. You know, those digital ghost notes that chirp: *Hey! Remember this magical moment from April 27th in 2017, 2019, 2022…? Well, apparently, I was very busy pretending to enjoy things on past […]
I recently stumbled upon an article, courtesy of a TikTok deep dive (don’t judge), that featured an interview with Friends star Matt LeBlanc. Now, while Joey Tribbiani might have been all about pizza and asking “How you doin’?”, it turns out real-life Matt is all about…doing nothing. And […]

In what ways do you communicate online? Rewatching Younger recently, I came across an episode from 2016 where a character warned that we might be in the midst of a “technopanic.” Back then, it sounded a bit alarmist, like the show was trying to play with the growing […]
F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.” As a psychologist, let me tell you, that quote is the ultimate mic drop for […]
Ever had one of those days where something just feels… off? Like maybe, just maybe, there’s a glitch in the matrix? I’m not talking about seeing black cats cross your path twice (although that would be pretty nerve-wracking). I’m talking about those tiny, weird moments where life seems […]
What’s the first impression you want to give people? I’m everywhere and nowhere at the same time. At least, that’s what it feels like on any given day as I bounce between Twitter, Instagram, BlueSky, Threads, LinkedIn, Tumblr, TikTok, and beyond. The wild part? I didn’t even remember […]
