    Can’t Touch This

    Hello and welcome back! I am writing this blog post from an office. Not my office. A French office. I’ve been working on a project with a French company from home, but this week they flew me out to Paris to wrap a few things up in person. And for some reason, that means I…

    In Defense of Valentine’s Day

    Hello and Happy Valentine’s Day to those celebrating!  I know, I know- Valentine’s Day is a “capitalist holiday.” (Blah blah– boohoo!)

    Heyyo… I come with a very unsettling, upsetting and URGH topic… Have you ever experienced a moment when someone’s casual remark felt like a punch in the gut? A seemingly harmless comment that left you struggling to keep your composure? A few days ago, I found myself in such a situation, and it brought a…
