Former colleague/current friend Eric Heisig got this review of last night's John Mellencamp show exactly right. The *awful* audience member(s) were sitting a few rows from me, and I could have left the theater. Cleveland concert audiences stink. clevescene.com/music/john-mel…

I’m sorry I’m MELTING

Home alone on a Friday night means I have time for deep thoughts like, “Why do animal crackers taste the way they do?”

WHITE, GREEN | In honor of the Seeds of Literacy graduating class of 2023!! 66% of Clevelanders are functionally illiterate. Seeds of Literacy fights that stat by offering #Free 1-to-1 #GED tutoring to adults, both in-person and virtually, 4 days a week, 3 times a day.

I’m on Threads! And I don’t know how to use it (yet!). But if this whole place comes crashing down, you can follow me there.

My husband is watching a documentary about the rise/fall of HQ Trivia, and… how do I have absolutely no recollection of this (apparent) phenomenon?? I was literally a social media producer when it was at its peak?? I feel insane right now.

In the last 15 days, I: 1. Married the love of my life 💍👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️ 2. Went on the absolute trip of a lifetime, our honeymoon to the Maldives 🏝 3. Turned 30 🎉 Life is a whirlwind, but I’m loving every second ❤️

What it feels like to be an audience journalist at a legacy paper

how do I form meaningful friendships as an adult without enrolling in grad school or joining a cult

This is basically me right now

So, so me.

If you’ve ever wanted to see me absolutely lose my mind (internally) in public, watch me order a single meal for myself at Wingstop on a Saturday night, then show up to pick it up and find 20 other people waiting for their food. The amount of anxious swaying I was doing… phew.

My husband and I are both feral disasters. Meant 2 B 💕

A few reminders as we head into Thanksgiving: -Don't comment on someone's body, even if it looks different than the last time you saw it. -Don't comment on someone's food choices. Those are inside thoughts. -Don't assign moral value to food. You don't need to "earn" pie.

After the photo of me cleaning the Capitol went viral, people kept saying to me the phrase “Look For The Helpers.” I grew up with Mister Rogers and felt comfort in those words. But now, 3 yrs after Jan 6, I have come to learn an entirely different lesson from this phrase… THREAD

I am driving a rental SUV right now, and it is such a strong reminder why I love my small car. I just spent $50 to fill my tank; I get less than 20 miles/gal. and I feel like I’m driving a tank 😓

C, because what else am I supposed to do when I have downtime at work??
