Unofficial Challenge: What would you do if you were rich?. Top Story - February 2026.
I love the kind of work I get to do in my career, but as I job search and browse apartments again due to another understaffed and unsustainable work environment that I did not intend to get into, my daydreams of better days consistently lean into the same question: What would I do if I didn't have to worry about my basic needs being met?

Draft Deleting? Don't Do It!. Top Story - February 2026.
Today, I had a little time. I decided that I would have a look at the drafts that I have on Vocal. This is part of a long-term wish to have everything I've written on paper rather than virtually. I've not looked at them for weeks and something drew me to them, just to browse and see what was there.

Impromptu Road Trip
What a day! Patrick and I drove to Atlanta today to see Jamie, and we stopped aling the way to get a chair from Dwight and have a drink and a bite with Amanda. What’s amazing about this is that Amanda and Dwight are both, separately, friends from my teenage years. Jamie and I were in first grade together and partied together in our early twenties. This was Patrick’s first time meeting each of them, which was super cool for me.

Author's Notes: Little Snow-White
"Snow-White, Rose-Red, will you beat your lover dead?" "But Little Snow-White is still a thousand times fairer than you." Two women white as either snow or roses, two sisters that loved and stood together rather than attack each other, and a princess whose "dead body" was nearly sold and then given to a strange prince. These stories begged to be put together in a way that offered the romantic love of a fairytale as well as the familial love that is so often missing from them.
