  • Between the Lines #14: Then He Met Me

    Have you ever met someone who came with a warning label? Not an actual warning label, obviously. Although, let’s be real, some people could probably use one. 🤣 I’m talking about the people you’ve heard stories about before you’ve ever had the chance to know them yourself. The difficult ones. The assholes. The people someone…

  • Learning to Look Closer #18: Beyond First Impressions 📸

    Two photographs. One person. Two very different impressions. Before you read any further, I want you to look at these two photographs. Now, I want you to ask yourself something. What kind of person do you think you’re looking at? Maybe the first photograph makes you think I’m loud, rebellious, immature, or someone who doesn’t…

  • Letters Never Sent #1: Dear Stranger, Tell Me What You Believe

    Dear Stranger, I have a question for you. Actually, I have several. What do you believe? Not what your parents taught you. Not what someone told you that you were supposed to believe. Not even what you think I want to hear. What do you believe? And more importantly, why? I’m not asking because I…

  • Brain Static #15: How Much of What You Believe Did You Actually Choose?

    Have you ever stopped to wonder why you believe the things you believe? Not just religion. Your opinions. Your values. Your traditions. Even the things you’ve been taught to fear. How much of that did you actually choose? Think about it. We’re influenced by our families, our communities, and the world around us long before…

  • Sunday Things #16

    Well, Halloween is officially over, and I would like to know who I need to speak to about getting a refund on my sanity. Because Y’ALL. This week was something else. We’ve had flying objects, screaming children, a shattered glass table, a baby standoff involving a pocketknife and a Sharpie, and a suspicious noise in…

  • History After Dark #8: Lizzie Borden — The Woman, the Hatchet, and the Mystery That Never Died

    Halloween Special | October 31, 2026 Happy Halloween, my lovely little history lovers! 🖤 Since it’s Halloween, I figured we’d spend tonight digging into one of America’s most infamous murder cases. We’ve got a wealthy family, some serious household tension, two brutal murders, and a woman whose name has been associated with an axe for…

  • Unsettling Urban Legend Night: Hell’s Gate

    The Indiana tunnel I entered laughing—and left terrified. There are urban legends you hear and immediately think: Yeah. Okay. Sure. Ghosts. Curses. Things scratching at cars. Mysterious figures appearing in the dark. Whatever. I love creepy shit, but I’m also perfectly capable of calling bullshit when something sounds like bullshit. And when I went to…

  • 🖤 Between the Lines: Halloween Edition — An Hour Dead

    There are a lot of ways to write about love bringing someone back from the dead. A kiss. A spell. A desperate bargain. Some ancient force deciding that, actually, death made a mistake. I didn’t want any of those. Because An Hour Dead was never really supposed to be a resurrection story. The woman comes…

  • Learning to Look Closer #17: Halloween Edition ☠️🕸️

    There’s something about old, forgotten things that feels a little different in October. A garden pot. A few fallen leaves. Cobwebs stretched across an opening. Weeds growing wherever they please. Nothing particularly frightening. Nothing that should make you pause. And yet… I found myself looking at this little corner and wondering how long it had…

  • 🧠 Brain Static: Halloween Edition

    Apparently, Halloween used to involve cabbage-based husband predictions. In Scotland and parts of America, young people would reportedly go out blindfolded and pull cabbage stalks from the ground. Then they’d use whatever unfortunate vegetable they grabbed to predict things about their future husband. Because apparently dating apps hadn’t been invented yet, so— cabbage. 🎃 Imagine…
