    Let’s Teach ‘How to People’

    What if school actually taught us how to be good people? Because yes, sure, algebra and the mitochondria and sentence diagramming—fine, I get it, there’s a place for that, but you know what would’ve helped me way more in life? Knowing how to deal with a panic attack. Or how to file taxes. Or how…

  • We’re Not Machines, Rain

    We’re Not Machines, Rain

    Some days you wake up and you’re like yes, today is the day I conquer the world. You’ve got your to-do list, your coffee, your playlist, and for a few glorious hours, you’re unstoppable. And then… BOOM. It’s like someone pulled the plug. Suddenly you’re scrolling through videos of raccoons washing grapes or reorganizing your sock…

  • Consider This Your Gentle Reminder

    Consider This Your Gentle Reminder

    Am I Scared or Just Forgetting to Play? One of the peculiar little puzzles I’m working on these days — and yes, that phrasing is intentional; it is a puzzle — is trying to approach things with curiosity instead of fear. Sounds easy, right? Like just a flick of a switch: boop, now I’m curious!…

  • We Need to Talk

    We Need to Talk

    So apparently that post I made the other day — the one about being nervous, about having my kids here this summer for the first time, about shifting from my worker-brain to my parent-brain and wondering if I was going to screw it all up — hit home for some people. Especially younger folks. People…

  • Bare Minimum Day

    Bare Minimum Day

    Some days, I wake up, and I know — deep in my bones, behind my eyeballs, under the to-do list tattoos etched on my soul — that I cannot. I just cannot. Not today. And still, my brain starts: “We should get things done.” Should clean. Should work out. Should make progress on healing. (Yes,…

    Nine Weeks, One Nervous Parent, and a Very Opinionated Cat

    Okay, so it’s happening. It’s happening. Nine weeks.Three kids.Three weeks each. One apartment in California that has never, not once, had to hold my parental brain, my work brain, and my nervous system all in the same space like this. I’m excited. I’m terrified. I’m spiraling a little, but in a cute, high-functioning kind of…

  • Caffeine and Consent

    Caffeine and Consent

    Fast food is a treat! Sugar is a treat! Caffeine is a goddamn blessing sometimes. And I mean that in the most reverent, fully-caffeinated way possible. The thing is, when I was a kid, none of these things were “allowed.” Not really. Not with joy. Not with balance. Not with that soft internal yes that…

  • Radiant Emotional Chaos

    Radiant Emotional Chaos

    Somewhere along the line, we were told — taught, shown, reinforced — that it’s not okay to be proud of ourselves. Not really. Not in a bold, radiant, or unapologetic way. It’s “confidence” if it’s humble and palatable. But anything more than that, and suddenly, it’s vanity, ego, and arrogance. Especially if you’re not a…

  • Takin’ Care of Business

    Takin’ Care of Business

    Two projects have been haunting me for what feels like an eternity. I’m not exaggerating — one’s been sitting there for over three years (dutch companies, you monster), and the other one, california love, has been quietly judging me from the corner of my to-do list for more than a year. They’re the kind of…
