Another day in the cafe, another cappuccino

It was another day in the cafe, another cappuccino. I wasn’t feeling my absolute best, to put it euphemistically. Fuck it, I was feeling like complete shit, despite my perfectly privileged life. Last year, I was working freelance, writing content in the crypto and blockchain space. At first, it was…

Board Games Reimagined for the Coronavirus Pandemic

Guess Who (Has Coronavirus)? In this two-person game, players use simple yes or no questions (“Does your corona carrier wear glasses?”) to pinpoint which of the game’s 24 characters is an asymptomatic carrier of COVID-19. But neither player has access to tests, resulting in an endless loop of “I don’t know. They seem fine.”…

The Highly Questionable Ethics of My Email Tracker

How the Google Chrome extension made me an asshole — Several years ago, I pitched a story to an online publication.

Putting Down Roots in a City of Transplants

On transience, settling down, and community in San Francisco — Years ago, I wandered through Patricia’s Green in Hayes Valley. Amid the perfectly manicured lawn, various options for overpriced coffee, and a grimy Burning Man structure, I dreamed of the perfect life I could live if only I lived in San Francisco. I don’t remember where I was living at…

One Gynecologist Appointment for Two, Please

Why I brought my husband to my IUD insertion — “It’s because of Eve that you’re here right now.” My husband prattled, nervously, as I lay splayed on my gynecologist’s examination table, feet in stirrups and speculum in me. “Really, this is not the right time for this conversation,” I said curtly through the cramps.

Everything You Never Asked About My Open Marriage

Learning about love, relationships, and breaking boundaries through non-monogamy — Just pretend you’re meeting a friend. Nervously, I repeated my new mantra to myself as I made my way to my first date in nearly six years. Nearly six years, and it’s not like I’d dated much before anyway. Nearly six years, and I had no idea what I was…

I Invited Every Resident in My Building to My Apartment

Maybe this is what San Francisco needs more of — What happens when you get tipsy and decide to invite a building full of strangers to a party in your apartment? I recently drank a huge glass of wine and found out. Let’s go back to the beginning. This past April, I’d lived in my apartment on Fell Street in…
