Parallel Pandemic

Seeking answers and navigating the symptoms of long-haul COVID-19 — The two pictures above were taken on the same day, about 10 hours apart. The image on the left shows the optimism I’m starting to feel more often, a sense of actual wellness that sometimes comes after a shower and getting dressed, a feeling fueled by the thought that I…

The Story of Tonight

I woke up this morning and cried. I cried because it was going to be a long day. I cried because I hoped it’d be the day we’d been working for. I cried because it was actually November 8, 2016, the day that’d seemed so far away, for so long. …

The Nothingness

Depression isn’t an overwhelming sadness. It’s an overwhelming nothingness. I just read the news about Cheryl Wu’s death. A tweet with “fuck cancer” caught my eye at first. Yes, I’d thought. Fuck cancer. Another young, talented person taken by this fucking disease? I’d thought. No. It was a different disease. …

The Favorite Like

Thoughts on Twitter’s New Heart — Around 9:30 am EST on November 3, 2015, thousands of Twitter users noticed a big change in the application’s desktop browser interface: Suddenly, our stars were hearts.

Hey, Good Lookin’

In Amy Schumer’s new HBO special, she has a bit near the beginning about self image. (Ok, a lot of her stuff is about self image.) She’s all, “Every woman has this suspicion: Maybe I’m…secretly…gorgeous.” I laughed out loud at this, not because Amy’s not totally gorgeous (she totally is)…
