I'm never going to stop being irritated that Chicago Public Library still only takes cash.

Today, my kid said, of a guy running across the street, "That man looks frantic." Not crazy, or weird, or fast. Frantic. (He was, I thought he was dropping something off quickly.) But it was a small and elegant example of how a breadth of language really matters in terms of understanding.

Look, we all have a lot of enemies right now, but I'm never going to stop hating the dude who brings his typewriter to a public place.

You know how you can think you know your kid and then they do something so spectacularly amazing that you're like, is that really my kid? That happened today.

Hey, if you haven't moved your body all week, whether that's because of depression, overwhelm, the weather, give that a go. And maybe drink some water.

Apparently, it's cold enough to literally break my garage door, but it's not even that cold?

All I'll say as a California who has lived In Chicago for a few decades, I've never bitched about the weather the way Midwesterners do. It's not a real advantage.

As a person who can only give an extremely useful gift, Maldon Salt is at the top of my list. So are the following: fire extinguishers, first aid kit, stamps, light bulbs, vanilla extract, good olive oil, firewood, emergency rations.
You deserve Maldon salt in your life.
Even if you think, "it's just salt, I don't even use it that much," I implore you to love yourself enough to treat yourself to some Maldon. It's one of the smallest changes you can make to elevate the everyday, even just a bit, and you deserve that.

I’ve been WAITING for this very question, Emily. And the answer is YES.
There is life before Maldon salt and life after Maldon salt.

How do any teenagers make it to adulthood? I just saw two high school students cruising down Foster Avenue on a Lime scooter holding a Domino's Pizza.
