Hello good people who read this blog! Basically, I’m writing this as a letter to my dear relatives, and will send it to them via email as well. But if you happen to be a friend from New York, Boston, Indiana, or anywhere life has taken me, this is for you as well. I’m enjoying […]
What’s in A Name?
Dear World, Hello! I am firmly ensconced in St. Louis. And by that, I mean I am eating a scone at a Saint Louis Bread Co., the artist nationally known as Panera. I’m living with my dad (hooray for dads!) and we are moving to a condo next to Forest Park in a few days, […]
An Open Love Letter to Brooklyn Book Club and All Women’s Frisbee, TBH
It will come as a surprise to no one that I love women’s frisbee with all of my heart, soul, and mind. I actually feel sorry for men’s teams and mixed teams that they’re not having as much fun as we are. But for the people who haven’t been able to play on a women’s […]
Hey Pesto! (aka Scape the Room)
We did it fam! We made pesto! I had never encountered pesto before college, so last night was exciting for me. I used this recipe from the New York Times, and here’s how it went down. 1) Recognize that you have wayyyy too many garlic scapes, with another shipment arriving on Saturday. 2) Click on one […]
Salad of Indeterminable Greens with Vulcanized Brussels Sprouts (Just in Time for Summer!)
A summer heaves its ungainly self through the greased kitchen window of my beloved city, I realize that, while I have paid into a CSA share with my roommate, I have little to no idea of what to do with the bags of leafy greens wilting in our fridge. We also get a single carton […]
The People’s Climate March: An Illustrated Essay
Saturday, April 29th 4:25 AM: I wake up and get dressed. I feel like my eyeballs are dancing. We went to bed around 1:30 AM: sign-making procrastination at its finest. Sarah (the artist also known as Ses) stayed over so we could all bus down together! 4:50 AM: Snacking on Bear Naked Granola Bites at […]
Still Doing That, Huh?
I recently tried and failed to get into a town hall meeting held by Rep. Yvette Clarke of Brooklyn (District 9). While I was a little sad that I wasn’t able to get in, I was inspired by the sheer size of the line– we wrapped around almost an entire block. If you were also […]
Choosing Seeds
I was talking to a friend about comedy the day after the election, and I remember asking, “What’s the point?” Why were we trying to make people laugh about online dating (isn’t is the WORST?) when we could have been marching and volunteering and writing letters and donating and calling our representatives and deleting Paypal […]
To the Woman Who Yelled
Across the street, “Leave that girl alone or I’ll call the police,” thank you. For distracting the man who followed me as I was listening to a podcast, who touched my ass and my elbow while calling me beautiful, whose response to me yelling, “FUCK YOU” and shoving him was to shove me back. I am […]
A Prayer for Abandoned Sidewalk Items
Oh Lord of the NYC Sidewalk, thou art with me when I am down-at-the-heels, When I’m losing my grip, When I’ve come unplugged. And, in those dark moments, you tell me to brush it off, That there’s no use crying over spilled paint, That there are other fish in the sea. And when you speak […]
Lord of the Freys
