In writing about how changing my name could affect my ability to vote, and I’ve done it twice, I was reminded of the internal chaos when I changed it the first time. I’ve always been a bit of an overachiever. I talked super young and passed that along to my own progeny. I read way

Sigh. January was 5,000 years long. Civilizations rose and collapsed while we watched endless parades of performative but meaningful executive orders get signed.

Many people are considering, to varying degrees of seriousness, moving out of the US. Searches for ‘how to move to Canada’ or ‘how to move out of the US’ have been spiking in recent months, what with the proliferation of laws that wouldn’t seem super out of place in your favorite dystopian media. At this

As are all social media apps. I am a social media addict. I watch stupid cat videos, rage with others about the state of America, follow recipes I’ll never make (my cooking is a hazard), and watch tons of those AITA videos. It’s either a good time or a long descent into madness and despair.

Do you know anything about the World Health Organization, lovingly known as the WHO? Maybe you’re the kind of person who should know a thing or two about what they do. *cough cough* before nuking our relationship with them. Or maybe you already know that they’ve done some pretty important and critically life saving things
