I was laid off a week ago.
The pace of news that has happened since then has been nonstop.
Even as I try to rest, I can’t turn off my journalist instincts. I want to dig in, to know more, to help. It’s what I do — what my profession does.

As a form of escapism, I’ve been watching Borgen, a fantastic Danish political drama, on Netflix
So of course I am now on the episode where the female journalist gets a tip about Americans doing something shady in Greenland

Three weeks post election (and two weeks post wedding), I signed up to audition for something because I have no idea what to do with all of this free time
