Just stumbled across a barber on IG who provides free, accommodating haircuts to neurodivergent & nonverbal kids/teens, and I’m just sitting in my car sobbing about it.

Addressing holiday cards always involves a call to my mom to inevitably catch up on any family gossip that might have resulted in a move. Learned about a restraining order!

If you normally get a holiday card from me and you’ve moved in the last year (or if you’ve gotten one intermittently and would like to be sure you get one this year), make sure I have your address!

Rolled out of bed and dislocated my elbow at age 3. Decided in the ER that I wanted to be a “bone doctor.” Then got obsessed with forensics in high school and wanted to be a pathologist. Was pre-med until I took genetics my junior year of college and fell in love.
