I did something quite stupid the other night. I managed to somehow shut my fingers in my car door. Yep. The thing that you would think that only children do – I managed to do it. Now, here’s a tip, they can’t really do anything for a broken finger. And really, I wasn’t expecting them…

I have officially been at my job for a whole year. This is crazy to me. Really, what is crazy is how much my life has changed in that time. I’m divorced, I’ve moved back to the city I swore I wouldn’t live in again, and overall I think I’m happy. This has been a…

The writer expressed mixed emotions regarding a presidential candidate being found guilty on 34 felony counts. Despite being thrilled by the verdict and its message that no one is above the law, they also feel sad and frightened about potential polarization and violence.
