The older you get, the more you realize that Harry and Marv were the true heroes of Home Alone. Coming from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, they just needed to make a living and they were terrorized by a spoiled 10-year-old psychopath from a rich family.

The draft of my debut book, "One Barrier After Another: Navigating the Workplace with a Disability," is nearly complete! Now, I’m hoping to connect with literary agents who represent non-fiction and uplift marginalized voices. If this is you, please let me know. #WritingCommunity #writer #authorlife

Ugh, this one hurts. Not only did I and countless others grow up watching her in Home Alone, but she was iconic in Schitt's Creek and she got her start at Second City Toronto alongside Eugene Levy, John Candy and many others. We lost a comedic legend. RIP Catherine O'Hara.

I got my first byline with @edsurge.com! I wrote about being an educator with a speech disability, including disclosing my stutter to my students and how I ultimately used my disability as a talking point while teaching.

I think we need to cut JD Vance some slack. His mom probably taped over the VHS tape with her work-out videos so he didn't see the rest of the movie.

The only part of the Golden Globes I watched was Macaulay Culkin returning to present for the first time since Home Alone. He walked on stage to the song "Return of the Mack." That was the only moment I needed to watch.
