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 […]
Can we talk about how folks nowadays just fling things at strangers? Like, it’s “#whateverthefirstthingIgrabbedIsMyWeapon-of-the-day” kind of energy. 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, […]
Just when you think 2025 can’t get any weirder, China goes and discovers a new species: a short-legged toad with a head so disproportionately large it could headline its own cartoon franchise. Scientists describe the head as “enormous, extremely wide and flat, about 1.5 times as broad as […]
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 […]
The sky in Antigua this morning is giving big “I stayed up too late but I’m still showing up” energy. The sun is there, somewhere, trying to peek through the clouds like a shy celebrity avoiding the paparazzi. It’s that awkward moment between night’s gossip and day’s to-do […]
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. […]
Some Wednesdays stretch like hot taffy left on a dashboard. Sticky. Slightly regrettable. And somehow still oddly satisfying. It’s that time of week where the to-do list has morphed into a didn’t-do-it list, the iced coffee lost its chill hours ago, and your inbox has become a crime […]
Some say Mondays are the worst. But Tuesdays? Tuesdays are sneakier. They lull you into thinking the week has begun, that you’re already mid-stream… when really, you’re still paddling in circles with coffee that isn’t quite strong enough and eyelids that are on strike. Today, I am operating […]
There are a few life truths I know for certain: coffee is sacred, people will absolutely not use their blinkers, and dog kisses are both a daily ritual and a divine mandate. Let me break it down from the dog couch. A sacred, slightly chewed-up, fur-blanketed arena where […]
Lately, I’ve been on a binge. Not of chocolate-covered espresso beans (though those were involved) but of music documentaries. You know, the kind that unwrap a legend’s life like a glittery, bruised onion: layer after emotional layer, until you’re left sniffling and singing along in your bathrobe. The […]
