What are your favorite 5 apps on your phone? Is there such a thing as a favorite app? I suppose there is a difference between favorite and frequently used. Gmail and X are probably my most frequently used apps. Which doesn’t necessarily mean I love them. It may […]
What’s the most annoying trope in books or movies? Gosh. I don’t know. There are so many contenders. But lately, after binge-watching an entirely unreasonable amount of BritBox, I’m noticing a pattern. The female detective who is slightly off. Odd. Socially uncomfortable. Probably lives alone. Sees patterns no […]
I have developed a slightly unhinged relationship with my Gmail inbox. What started as a casual “let me clean this up” spiraled into a full archaeological dig of my life. I didn’t just delete emails. I went backwards in time. August 2026 to April 2022. Thousands upon thousands […]
There are moments in life that reveal who we really are. Big moments. Defining moments. Character-building moments. And then there are cockroach-on-your-shoulder-during-a-live-report moments. I recently watched Rachel Menitoff ( a KTLA news reporter) do the unthinkable. A cockroach landed on her mid-report and she just kept going. No […]
Google, in its quiet algorithmic way, decided to ambush me today. “This day, years ago,” it said, like it wasn’t about to rearrange my entire nervous system before coffee. And there he was. My son, younger, mid-air, literally suspended in that impossible, physics-defying moment of childhood joy. His […]

It meanthating myselfin small, socially acceptable waysthe kind no one […]
I have a confession. I don’t sort things. Not my socks. Not my cutlery. Not even my laundry. Somewhere, a Type A personality just clutched their label maker. Let me explain. My sock drawer is a lawless land. A democratic free-for-all. Patterns mingle with solids. Athletic socks cozy […]
There is a very specific, deeply spiritual moment in life that no one prepares you for. Not childbirth.Not falling in love.Not even finding a parking spot directly in front of your destination in Manhattan (which, frankly, deserves its own religion). I’m talking about that moment. The one where […]
I went out for a drink. Just a drink.Not a psychological summit on love, denial, and why some women bail out men who have *lliterally confessed to murder. And yet. Somewhere between the second sip and the bartender’s raised eyebrow, I found my people. A cluster of women […]
There are shows you “watch,” and then there are shows that sit in your nervous system for a few days afterward like they’ve forgotten to check out. Should I Marry a Murderer? is very much the second kind. At first glance, you think you’re signing up for true […]
