"THE ITSY-BITSY SPIDER"
Gratitude isn't just appreciating what you have—it’s letting go of the idea that your worth is defined by what you lack. 🕊️
From the looms of ancient Greece to the "VIP floors" of modern life, the story of Arachne reminds us that comparison is a dangerous game (especially when gods are involved).
I’ve got a new essay up about weaving your own path, resisting the urge to "clap back" at the world, and why I’m choosing to be a little kinder to the spiders in my life.

"PRETTY WOMAN"
We’ve been calling Medusa a monster for centuries, but have we ever stopped to ask who actually committed the crime? It’s time to stop treating "the hero’s journey" as an excuse to turn women into footnotes.
My new essay on Medusa, Poseidon, and the "divine" injustice of Mount Olympus is live. 🏛️⚡️

WE ARE FAMILY...(SORT OF...)
Some families pass down recipes. Others pass down drama. This essay is for everyone who’s ever survived the holidays by smiling through gritted teeth and counting the hours until they can take home some leftovers. 🍗
