I wanted to be a psychologist. I was 18 years old. I loved the idea of talking to people all day. I don’t know if it was a voyeuristic thing (I wanted to spy on people’s personal problems) or if I really wanted to help people. Maybe both. But now I know at 18 (and […]

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of anti-Jewish comments. See below photo. I don’t really know why. I wasn’t really raised Jewish and haven’t been to many Jewish ceremonies since I was a kid. We all know about Jewish people like Albert Einstein, Jonas Salk (polio vaccine), and perhaps the greatest Jewish person of all, […]

I used to get panic attacks and be unable to function. If my bank account goes down,I feel like death. If I’m dating someone and they don’t call me back, I cry and assume it’s over. If someone who has power over me (money, jobs, opportunity) calls me on a Friday afternoon and just says, […]

(in a book store on Lincoln Road in Miami earlier this month) My 20s sucked. In the mornings I would take a suit out of my one garbage bag and put it on and walk to work. I smelled. My roommate smelled. And I was bad at my job. And then I started reading. […]

One day last year the police were banging on my door, “Open up!” and the owner of the Airbnb I was staying at texted me, “Don’t open!” Another time I was staying in an apartment owned by the head of the Central Bank of a major industrial country. I would try to figure out what […]

Aubrey Marcus’s step-dad invented an artificial vagina. His step-dad’s pregnant wife wasn’t having sex with him. This made him very unhappy. So he refitted a flashlight with some wet, spongy thing and called it a “fleshlight”. I love this story because it takes something that felt very upsetting to me for some reason and made […]
