Me too. This is not a criticism. I was already going to vote but now I know who I will be doorbelling for this fall.
I realized that I got super into the Toast after my mom died. It's a place where I could find smart strong women to look up to and a place where things just made sense. I guess the big sister analogy works best for me as well. You all got me through some tough times.
Beautiful writing. The tiny glimpses that you get of people in extremis and not knowing what happens next sound fascinating and emotional and strange.
Super late, but i did one a few years ago and it was great. I did the kind where you take all your classes with the undergrads. It wasn't that stressful because (for me at least) the difference in organizational skills and ability to buckle down increased exponentially in the years I was out of school
This is so lovely. I'm away from home and won't be attending a seder this year and I'm surprised by how much I'm missing it. Just having the rituals is such an important way to mark the year.
Exactly! There's always someone (a man) saying, "What if these six totally improbable things happened to make it not a rape? Or twelve totally impossible things? You can't prove they didn't."
Robert is obviously unwilling to sacrifice to the "dread god Deadline". He has been composing this comment since the article was published
This was not a thing that I knew before! And for some reason I find your wording incredibly hilarious.
I've tried dodgeball. The plus side is no one can tell if you're any good because they are all too busy getting hit with balls to see what you are doing. The minus side is that you will get hit with balls too (sometimes very hard).
I'm in Boise for a few months right now and I can definitely say it's gorgeous and far more hipster than I imagined. I was here in the fall too so I can definitely say that spring and fall are gorgeous and that the outdoorsy stuff to do is fabulous and super close to town. I'm just checking out the area myself, but it definitely seems like somewhere I would consider moving.
