Being depressed and also a grammar nerd is a fun way to learn the different between active and passive voice. Do you want to kill yourself, or do you just want to have been killed?

Perform Juliet and Evita in repertory, obvs.

“It’s not healthy,” he concludes, “for any human being to have unfettered access to everything, everywhere, all the time, for free.” There’s so much joy in the world, in books, in other people, but we have to be willing to risk the boredom and bruises of an analog life.

Preschool. Courtney. My memories painted her as the mean girl of my clas. I remember telling her tossing a ball was a game for only 3 people—me & two friends. Years later I saw a class photo. Only four girls in the whole class & I willfully excluded her. I was the mean girl.

Biden stepping down and throwing support behind a woman is real Ted Lasso-positive-masculinity.

Jane Austen has a great bit in Emma where she demonstrates the importance of polite fictions there's this character called Miss Bates who was born into wealth and class but is now a poor spinster who relies on the kindness of others

Unconscious bias (which is rubbish anyway) isn't unconscious if you know about it. So here goes... yet again. I've only watched about half an hour of gymnastics so far, but I've clocked "elegant, graceful, elegant and smooth, full of grace, etc." for white gymnasts and...

I’ve been using “weird” as a compliment for my 6yo, who is a delightful mix of socially-savvy and psychotic, fashionable and feral. What are alternate words I can use, now that “weird” has become code for “keep the hell away from my daughters, country, and couch”?
