I would like to begin by saying that I do not endorse eating your coworkers. Let’s just get that out of the way. However. When I read that a female shark in a Seoul aquarium ate a male shark after he repeatedly bumped into her, I felt something […]
There are weeks when the world feels like it’s unraveling at the seams and then, like a fuzzy, lumbering gift from the universe, bigfoot re-enters the group chat. Not since the Minerva Monster sightings have Ohio residents been quite this collectively side-eyeing the woods. And now, just as […]
This week my spam folder has taken on the tone of a very disappointed guidance counselor. Every morning, nestled between offers for miracle collagen powder and a prince from somewhere needing my urgent banking assistance, I find an email with the subject line: “Failure Notice.” Just that. No […]
This weekend I began spring cleaning, not because I am virtuous or organized or suddenly one of those people who labels their spices. No. I started cleaning because my brain was full. Overfull. Like a Manhattan closet. Like my inbox. Like my emotional support tote bag that contains […]

What is your favorite animal? Sharks. Those glamorous, fin-flipping divas of the deep. The rulers of the ocean. The creatures who make every beachgoer reconsider their life choices at the mere sight of a dorsal fin. And what’s their secret weapon? Teeth. Lots of teeth. Teeth that grow […]
Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it? People love to ask about travel. Where have you been? What’s your favorite city? What country changed you? This is usually followed by a mental highlight reel of airports, shoes kicked off, and that one time […]
