“Everyone has that moment. They’re eating gross oysters or putting on loafers or suddenly calling a couch a “chesterfield.” They’re meeting friends at the Minetta Tavern or whatever the upscale diner with fourteen-dollar mimosas is called where they live. Everyone will inevitably, at some point, pause and recognize that they no longer exist in their shoplifting, joyriding glory...

The depressive personality type
Katz had read extensively in popular sociobiology, and his understanding of the depressive personality type and its seemingly perverse persistence in the human gene pool was that depression was a successful adaptation to ceaseless pain and hardship. Pessimism, feelings of worthlessness and lack of entitlement, inability to derive satisfaction from pleasure, a tormenting awareness of the...

Click here for part 1.
NOTE: I knew this would be a difficult one to write about because I don’t remember too much happening after my parents visited me. I decided to throw in some passages from Andrew Solomon’s The Noonday Demon. As far as I know, I’m only doing it for this post. Also,…

What the Cleveland, Texas Case Teaches Us About Rape Culture in America
I can’t stop reading the coverage of the new gang rape case, even though it makes me sick to my stomach to keep on reading. It’s not just the crime that makes me feel physically ill when I think about it. It’s the…

Texas lawmakers approve bill requiring ultrasound...
“The Senate version also allows a woman to choose not to see the images or sounds if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, or if the fetus has an irreversible medical condition. The House version contains no such provisions, KVUE said.”
How generous of the Senate. And how exactly is this particular concession going to be enforced? This bill is so disgusting in its overt...

Career-intolerant →
I have been contemplating, belly-aching, insomniaching, various other -ings, etc. over the career path question for years. Although everyone loves to pull out the stat that most of us will change jobs on average 7 times in the course of our working lives, the hackneyed and supposedly comforting mantra does nothing to quell my anxiety.
Little girl dreams began with the typical “I want to be...

House centipedes, also known as Evilpedes or Prehistoric Monster Bugs, are a city phenomenon that I had never encountered before moving here a few years ago. As a result, I have an unhealthy fascination for these vile, horrible creatures. Their...

I’m preparing a talk I’m giving in Eindhoven on Wednesday for a conference about “time.” I’ll be speaking about health and time. Here’s an interesting snippet about added life expectancy in years over time:
1800 - 1840 = No increase
1840 - 1880 = No increase
1880 - 1920 = +16 years
1920 - 1960…
