There are moments when the universe taps you gently on the shoulder and says, “Hey… look up.”Unfortunately, most of us are too busy digesting turkey, dodging family drama like it’s live combat, or pretending that the stuffing didn’t defeat us in round three. But the cosmos, in all […]
Somewhere between my third slice of pie and my third dog stepping on my stomach, I read the wildest thing. Scientists found tryptophan, the same sleepy amino acid we blame for our Thanksgiving couch comas, on Bennu. That is a small asteroid that swings by Earth every six […]
There should really be a word in the English language for that exact moment on Thanksgiving when you realize with both pride and mild horror that you’ve taken one bite too many. You know the moment. We all do. That moment when the fork pauses mid-air. A button […]
What are your favorite animals? So apparently, while I’m over here trying to remember where I put my keys and my motivation, a female wild wolf on the central coast of British Columbia has decided to outdo all of us. She was caught on camera pulling a crab […]

I have a confession that would make any dermatologist sigh deeply: I do not care for the cold. Actually, let’s be real. I straight-up wage war with the cold. When that first icy breeze hits in November, my skin immediately files an HR complaint. I get hives. Rashes. […]
There are certain places on Earth where time has no meaning. The Bermuda Triangle. Black holes. And the DMV. I learned this again the hard way this week. Now, I wasn’t new to the DMV rodeo. Just a few years ago I strutted in with an online appointment, […]
