I completely agree. Aka, he’s a human. An important life lesson!

First or second year of college, so about 10 years ago at this point, a friend and I were working at Nano Day in NY, a program for high school students to get excited about STEM (we wrote the school curriculum used as a lead up). Imagine how unbelievably excited we were to find out on the day of the actual event that…

Could not even get through the whole thing. Maxi Dresses and long skirts forever. I’m tall, they look great on me. I have wide hips and am larger in the middle, so I can’t really do pencil skirts without looking ridiculous, and A line skirts that are shorter length make me look really young and sometimes more casual…

I don’t know about wine, but the tea garden, in Istanbul’s Gulhane Park is kind of great. Overlooking the Bosphorus, people randomly playing music. It’s just a wonderful environment to sit, drink some strong tea, and take a breath.

Best way to spend the last few minutes before a biostats exam. It’s like meditation.

This had me laughing entirely too much during a not at all funny biostats class.

Also reminds me of my time working in a hospital in Kampala, Uganda. People could not handle that I was single and likely remaining so. I got many people saying they'd happily have me for their second or third wife (I was in the capital…

Looks like, from below anyway, that we have similar hair. Mine's about mid-back. 2B curly. I'm pretty hopeless about doing much with it, too. I'm an ER doctor currently but working on making that a part time thing and doing more of the public health/humanitarian aid programming stuff as my main career.

For serious not, I'm a 30 year old doctor and definitely wear my long hair down on the regular, only tying it up when I'm doing a procedure or things are getting cray.

I was about to make the same comparison. This is a terrible situation, but how many people support the emirates through their tourism even though the entire UAE is built, literally and figuratively, on slave labor.

Artisanal mayonnaise is delicious.

I don't know how many of you listen to The Read, but I can already hear Kid Fury in my head saying "Girl, if you don't know what you're talking about, just don't say anything. It's free to keep quiet." And someone needs to read Zoe Saldana on this one because this is just ridiculous. If you want to make your clothing…

1) Celebrities should know by know that sarcasm does NOT come through in most mainstream, throw away articles. Save it for when you can let your tone carry your intention, or twitter, since no one takes twitter seriously. And there are enough people out there who are loudly serious about how to "keep your man" that…

You win for The Book of the City of Ladies, so hard.

I'm wearing sweatpants right now. It's the actual first thing I do when I come home every day. I've had this particular pair since I graduated from high school in the early aughts. They're the best, and I'll not have some misguided fool blame them for her own poor decisions.

And even though I totally wear them for…

Cleanser-wise, I've gotten really into the Josie Maran Argan Oil cleanser. I have combo skin too, and the idea of cleaning with an oil is kind of weird but my skin always feels so soft and clean when I use it.

I finished my 4th nightshift in a row on Tuesday morning (and that last one was a total shit show, busy the entire time, a couple of actually sick patients) and now it's Wednesday morning at 5:30 and I'm getting ready for a day shift...after only really getting about 3 hours of sleep last night because I'm old now and…

I'm on a string of 4 night shifts this weekend (tonight is night #2, and I know it's going to be crazy busy). There's almost nothing else out there that makes me feel so down and lonely than facing down a night shift. I can't explain it. I just hate going to work when everyone else is socializing or getting ready for…

Clearly this person does not live in NYC. The closet she's describing is basically an entire room. A rug?! Dedicated lighting? HARDWARE? No.

I don't think I have all the words to express my obsession with Daughter this week. That line in "Smother" really resonates this days when you feel you have done nothing right.

Also, I turned 30 this week, and the song Candles was everything: "Blow out all the candles, you're too old to be so shy".

yes.

For my friend's, we took the LIRR out to eastern Long Island (with mimosas on the train, because apparently you can drink on the LIRR), and did a series of wine tastings. There are packages available with a limo to drive you around so you don't need to worry about transportation.
