• Things That Sound Good: On saying the right things for the wrong reasons

• Love or Something Like It: How weddings break my brain

• Pyramid Pals: What I learned about belonging from my brief encounter with a multi-level marketing scheme

• Pining for Quarantine Tinder: Why quarantine Tinder was the best Tinder
