Jim Edmonds was once a pretty good color analyst for Bally Sports Midwest, back in the day when it was called Fox Sports Midwest. He’s not that good anymore. This is possible. It’s quite alright for a St. Louis Cardinals fan to point out that a man paid very well isn’t that good at his job. Edmonds should be used to the burn from his playing days, where his moves and production were critiqued and discussed.

Hey Changemakers! I always appreciate the power of a good seasonal change to help us reset and recalibrate. As I wrote this, we’re transitioning to spring here in the Pacific Northwest (with our typical rain as well as the explosion of greens and spring flowers). I’m a big fan of embracing any opportunity to take a step back from our work and our lives (especially when we might feel like we’re in a rut) and just notice how we feel about where things are right now.

Drawn from my doctoral thesis, “What did I do? I don't know.”, this blog offers a practitioner's guide to using Theraplay and tacit maternal knowing to support children and young people experiencing relational and developmental trauma.

I’m being bombarded with ads for a product that I can’t stand. While this brand promises a low-cost, sustainable solution to “transforming” your drinking experience, as a plastics expert I have some notes. YouTubers and influencers left and right are accepting brand deals from Air Up, who sells a very special kind of water bottle. The premise of the product is that, instead of buying flavored water, you can turn regular water into “scented” tap water using plastic “scent pods” that provide the experience of flavor without actually adding anything into your water.

Welcome to our first recap of Feud: Capote vs. the Swans! I hope you’re wearing your finest chunky gold earrings and nicest scarves and you’re ready to gossip. As a cautionary note, before we get into it: this episode did contain some homophobic slurs, and someone dies by suicide. First, in case you missed it, I wrote a Who’s Who in Feudpiece that might be helpful if, at any point, you were a bit confused about the various players in this program.

Sometimes I write things for no reason! Sometimes I write things I don’t want to sell to a stranger! Food, books, gossip, poems, home, art, domestic chaos, love. It's fun! You'll like it!

In 2014, a young man took an iconic photograph. He was simply standing on a sidewalk in a lush suburban street, hands clasped in a singular pose that would come to be iconic. The photograph, subject, and accompanying phrase would go on to live many lives on the internet. Our understanding of this man as an internet folk hero would grow and develop over the years but we would never wonder why, because the answer was in the original: You Know I Had To Do It To Em.

Hey there— More and more often, providers are asking for payment in advance. Before a test or procedure, they might want you to pay whatever they expect your share to be after insurance. And maybe it’s not just a $30 copay, or something similar, but your whole deductible. Which could be thousands of dollars. Um, yikes. Paying upfront goes against one of our major pieces of advice: Don’t pay a medical bill without fact-checking it.

We're all looking forward to the third — and final — season of Star Trek: Picard. In particular, we're eager to go along on one last adventure with the crew of the Enterprise-D that we knew and loved from Star Trek: The Next Generation. However, although we don't really know what's become of most of our Enterprise family over the years, one member, in particular, really stands out. And that is Worf.
