  • The Car Thief and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

    Picture, for a moment, yourself as a car thief. You stick to the shadows and are a master at making yourself ordinary, able to hide in plain sight. You’re a hunter in search of a prey. Then you spot it, a silver 2000 Honda CRV on a dark stretch of 13th West. You peer into…

  • Conspiracy Theories I Believe In

    It’s been a difficult few weeks, which I’ll write about at some point, but for now, I thought it’d be a good idea to just do a fun post that doesn’t require too much thought or emotion.  I’ve always been interested in conspiracy theories, partly because I’m a psychologist who cares what people think about,…

  • Letters to Self

    In an AP Language & Composition class, a sixteen year old sits huddled at a desk, green pen and lined paper in hand. That morning, a teacher who cares about more than report cards and curriculum drops off five-year old letters in the mailbox. It’s a project she has them do, her students, to engage…

  • Miley Cyrus Eating Salad

    For this week’s Funny Friday, I’m rifling through the  archives to bring you a real gem from November of 2016. For those of you who don’t know my story, I began college at a community college down the road from my house. So, while I was a sophomore in the fall of 2016, it was only…

  • Smarter Than a Fifth Grader

    I love working with kids. They ask inquisitive questions, see the world through innocent and fresh eyes, and challenge the boundaries of authority at every step.

  • Two Beyonces Walk Into A Bar

    A Flash Funny Friday I’ve joined, on a very short-time basis, the ranks of the 9-5ers. And with a full time job comes the highly beloved pastime of sitting in the hot car for long periods of time twice a day. It should come as no surprise that people can get a bit… tense under…

  • What We’ve Lost

    Face-to-Face with Mass Trauma It’s true what they say: despite the evidence of nondiscrimination, you never think it will happen to you. On July 4th, I told several people I had a story to tell them about my night out with friends. But in the days since that I’ve been processing that evening, I’ve realized…

  • Stand Clear

    To the three of you who have bought into my facade and think me a saint, I have bad news for you: I stared down a smirking red-headed woman yesterday, left foot on the brake, right foot hovering inches above the gas pedal. Unhinged anger shot from head and barreled down to ankle threatening to…
