Remembering My Hippie Mom on the 50th Anniversary of Woodstock

Her wandering spirit made her difficult to know, but I’m still fascinated by her life — My mother was a stranger to me. For all her stories and souvenirs of a life spent wandering, Didi was a difficult person to get to know. Early on, I could tell she was different. …

If I’ve learned anything since, it’s how to be kind to that girl we both used to know — First I sat down and wrote 15 pages about my supposed “first love,” the one borne out of an actual hurricane, then reread it a day later and realized what an asshole he was.

Tales from Rideshare Hell, Vol. 1: San Francisco

Dear Lyft Driver: Can you please not assume that just because I’m white and female that I’m going to quietly sit and agree with your racist bullshit? There’s been so much happening, and it all makes me want to crawl into a giant peach and float away across the ocean…
