while what i'm most proud of in 2025 had nothing to do with work, i wanted to say thank you to anyone who read any of my articles. here are a few stories i wrote.

after a year of reporting i wrote about the fencesitter community and the anxiety of not knowing if you want to have kids
No One Can Decide Whether to Have a Baby—Here’s Why
Fence-sitters are turning to unusual places for help: TikTok, Reddit, and “Motherhood Clarity” therapists.

"The way that Perfidia handled [postpartum depression] was the result of feeling unheard, unseen and not beautiful and feeling like a piece of meat," says Taylor. "It resulted [in] her [feeling] like, 'Okay, I need to be selfish and show up for myself, even at the expense of leaving my own child.'"
I profiled Teyana Taylor !!! We spoke about landing her first Grammy and Golden Globe nominations, how her own experiences with postpartum depression fueled her role as Perfidia in One Battle After Another and her decision to come out of music retirement people.com/teyana-taylo...

this is such gaslighting bullshit
Bari Weiss just sent this Christmas Eve email to the CBS News staff about "building trust," which includes her tripling down on spiking the CECOT piece "to make sure it's comprehensive and fair."
