i wrote about the quest to replace alcohol and the dream of a substance that makes you feel free and happy and sexy but won’t get you addicted or shave years off your life or make you feel shit the next day.

spoiler: i don't think we'll ever find it

On this Earth Day, we have an exciting project at Vox that explores how we can have a more sustainable relationship with our home planet.

These stories show how climate change will impact us and what we can do to make life better. vox.com/climate/241309…

I spent several weeks this spring meeting people in NYC who have filled their apartments with pests — pigeons, squirrels, opossums. Even rats.

They are an odd bunch. They also have something valuable to teach us.

Meet the rehabbers of NYC:

Only 11% of couples who wed between 1965 and 1974 lived together before getting married. Today it's 76%. I explored how cohabitation became another step in the relationship timeline vox.com/even-better/24…

What was most striking to me about Tortured Poets on first listening was hearing Taylor get a little salty about her fans. I went into it here vox.com/culture/241348…

For Vox, I wrote about the most recent episode of the superlative kids' TV show 'Bluey,' and how it illustrated the experience of loss that is as intrinsic to parenthood as joy. Happy tears! vox.com/24133421/bluey…

I see a lot of “complaining about the death of third spaces” and not a lot of “learning to play magic the gathering so you can hang out at game stores”

one of my favorite pieces I've ever gotten to work on with Allie Volpe, on the endless drive for self-optimization and how to feel like you're enough just as you are vox.com/the-highlight/…

Someone please write about whatever hostilities have been going down between the National Arts Club and the Newswomen's Club, it feels very dramatic

kind of can't believe that a) 13 Sentinels exists and b) i hadn't picked it up until this week; one of the most narratively ambitious and compelling pieces of media i've experienced in so long????

This is a good piece that gets at something I've been thinking about. I used to think that Diana had little effect on the BRF as an institution, but now that the family is essentially defined by her ex and sons, so much resentment & trauma surrounding her is playing out publicly
