On New Moms and Teenage Boys: More in Common Than Previously Thought
Teenage boys are fascinating, when they're not being teenage boys. Or, maybe, especially when they are. Either way, I loved this. Thanks for the nice read.

On 'Pinners Unite for Good!
I am late to the game and possibly outing myself from anon-hood, but I'm gonna go ahead and throw out two local nonprofits that I work/have worked with: WriterCoach Connection and La Cocina. WriterCoach is a Berkeley-based nonprofit that partners with multiple Bay Area schools with the goal of improving student writing through one-on-one volunteer-student pairing. They're totally fundraising for next year's expansion so this is pretty stellar timing. La Cocina is an incubator kitchen in San Francisco. They partner with low-income food entrepreneurs (mostly women of color) to launch their food businesses. Donations are always welcome, but they also do cooking classes, public events (most notable: the Street Food Fest), and (because Mother's Day is just around the corner...) gift boxes. The women involved are amazing and so is their food.

On Ass? Stella?
My name apparently sounds so incomplete that when I introduce myself to people, they always ask if it's short for something. Then they usually add, like, a bunch of noises to the front of it - "la", "ta", "sha" - and I have to tamp down internal rage because NO. Just... no.

On "Your money is under the guillotine."
I think this calls for a Werner-Herzog-Netflix marathon on my next day off.

I, too, talk to my mom nearly everyday. Half our phone calls these days are her yelling at her cats in the background. Trufax.

On Moral MASH: Philosopher, Judge, Angel, Teacher, Enforcer, or Guardian?
It says I'm an Angel, or quite possibly a Teacher. That... sounds about right. Especially with all the rule-breaking and know-it-all-ness of them both.
