You Are No Better Than Bankrupt Drug Addicts

In fact, you might be worse. — One day, a long time ago in India, a young girl of about twelve pawed her grubby hands at my uncle’s blue suit jacket. She was begging for money for food, her dress torn and knotted at the end, and her hair grimy. On one hip, she balanced a boy…

Why Asians Seem More Successful

It’s not genetics or culture. — Asians have long been touted as unusually successful. Compared to white people, we earn more money, we commit less white-collar and violent crime, we score better on tests, and we are overrepresented at elite universities. We are hardworking, have strong family financial support and we seem pretty ambitious. As a…

Gen Z Is Screwed

But we can prevent the world from going down with us. — Gen Z is screwed. I wish it weren’t true. I’ve spent years practicing gratitude, excited to wake up alive each sunny day and deeply appreciative of little things, like the fact my smartphone has YouTube. The great kings of old got to hear Mozart performed twice a year. I get…

The Things That Changed When I Became Beautiful

It turns out many people are superficial. — When I was a kid, I was ugly. Not in the cute but wears glasses way. Actually, really ugly. I had a huge overbite, top teeth that stuck out, a scrawny and ungraceful body, and frizzy, thin hair. People let it be known, too, and although I suppose it hurt…

If You Haven’t Had An Abortion, You Are Lucky, Not Morally Superior

You’re lucky if you’re able to have one too. — I published a version of this article about a year ago. But after tonight’s horrifying news that the Supreme Court is about to overturn Roe vs. Wade, I am publishing it again. Although this story is behind the paywall, consider this permission to copy the text and spread it around…

How I Got 11,000 Newsletter Subscribers In My First Day

I don’t like social media, but I guess I’m not bad at it. — I know, I know. I swore I was never going to write an article like this. But if something genuinely succeeds on the mystery that is social media and if I learn something valuable, I am going to share the heck out of it. (As an aside, an influencer friend…

Ten Reasons To Get Married Without Falling In Love

Marriage is a social partnership, not a Jane Austen novel. — Before the bitter comments tear down this piece, let me say that I — like most people who chose to wed young — married for love. I can’t imagine myself without my husband, darling, light of my life, etc. …

We Should Get Rid of Women’s History Month

It is making things worse. — This is an essay born of deep frustration: an essay born of having spent a month languishing on LinkedIn with posts about how “my wife/mother/daughter is a true inspiration to women everywhere. #BreakTheBias #WomensMonth.” Sometimes, I’ve come across the even more selfish variety: “Look, friends, how much I’ve accomplished as…
