Happy 200th Birthday, Walt Whitman
I’ll be honest with you: The first time I picked up Leaves of Grass (in college), it bored me to tears. Maybe it’s a thing you have to grow into? I for sure skimmed the book to pass the class,

Broadway Musicals To Spice Up The Great (Stale) White Way!
What percentage of Broadway these days is original content? Take away the musical (or staged play) versions of popular movies and you’ve got what left. Hamilton. Basically, only Hamilton. Look, we can’t all be the next Hamilton. But that doesn’t mean

Free The Museums!!! A Handy Guide To Hunting Down The Finest (And Free-est) Museums In NYC
TBH, I’m always stumped when people ask me what my “hobbies” are. Like… I’m an adult??? I don’t have hobbies??? My jobs are so amazing, they can sometimes feel like hobbies (paranormal, true crime, arts and crafts, these are hobbies!).

The Safety Blanket
Did you have a “safety blanket” when you were a kid? How about now? I have a theory about those little things we always return to when things get tough. The favorite book we’ve read over and over,

MoMA Alone
So I’ve long been a proponent of “dating yourself.” Like, you know, taking yourself out on dates to reinvest in your relationship with yourself? Okay, that sounds a bit bizarre and selfish and self-indulgent. Why not go with somebody else?

Don’t Get Pissed, But Your “Fearless Girl” Is Bullshit
I know I know, you’re already angry at my title — but what is being “fearless” if not standing up for what’s right, even if it’s unpopular? I love you all, I love Intersectional Feminism, and that is why

MTV True Life: I Deleted Snapchat And My Life Is Honestly Better

How I Learned To Love The Beatles
I wish this story wasn’t about a boy. I sincerely do. But it’s at least a little bit about a boy. File it under doing the right thing for the wrong reasons. Sure, I’d always liked The Beatles, yeah, yeah, yeah.
