Mob Rule Comes for My Yoga Studio
The CorePower I used to love has been ruined by shouted ideology and shunning, just like nearly every public space in my longtime home of Minneapolis, writes Ann Bauer. It’s why I finally left.

A story like this was on my own feature to-do list but I can’t even be mad because I do think Bridget is a better writer for it than me and I can’t wait to read hers
My first cover story at @nymag.com! I went to Utah to figure out how everything got so Mormon: www.thecut.com/article/morm...

I am a fan of thinking of successful women and mediocre men who share the same last name. Like a talk show where you have the former UGA and Pats TE on and keep calling him "Emma."
