Ending 2025 with my five favorite stories of the year, for @nytimes , @wirecutter , @lareviewofbooks , and @slate . Hoping 2026 brings even more opportunities to research, report, and reflect!
🤡✨🎃💖👻Big thank you to @brisacksy and @mac_ryan_ for hosting such a fabulous Halloween shindig, and shame on me for not getting one photo with them except this accidental background creeping. I was a jester. 🤡✨🎃💖👻
@tkchev ’s bachelorette. She’s only getting ONE so we made it count 😉
Cynicism is easy; joy is harder. Genuinely grateful for love and friendship and the opportunity to celebrate them together with my sister and our friends💓💘💕
Ok @wrangler_mae she’s all yours now (except for when she’s mine!)
Have you ever had your breakup disrupted/disturbed by your smartphone? Finally ended it with an ex just for your Photo widget to show you a happy selfie together, or to have your Maps app rudely suggest their address? Has your smart tech made it harder for you to move on in other ways?
I am looking to INTERVIEW some people about this very phenomenon! If you’d be interested in sharing your experience, please DM me or respond here.

Shoutout @katbardot and @alex.madge for brainstorming it/egging me on 🙏 I couldn’t be Drexel without you!
