What's The Latest?

If alcohol were invented today, there’s no way it would be legal. We’d take one look at the health risks, the accident stats, the domestic violence rates, the economic toll, and we’d be like, ‘Absolutely not, ban that immediately.’ But instead, it’s one of the most socially acceptable drugs in the world. We toast with it at weddings, sip it at funerals, and apparently need it to survive brunch. And here’s the kicker: the harm it causes isn’t just about the one person who drin

So… if you're listening to this while lying face down on the carpet, contemplating whether you have the energy to make a cup of coffee or just chew some beans and hope for the best—hi. Welcome.

First, we’ll break down the DSM criteria, which is just the official diagnostic checklist. Spoiler: it’s more than just being “difficult” to deal with. There’s actual science behind it, and I'm here to translate it into something that doesn’t sound like a dictionary. Then we'r

At some point, we stopped finger-painting and started filing taxes, and honestly? I think that was a mistake. Remember when you used to lose hours making up dance routines, narrating Barbie soap operas, or building elaborate stick forts like you were training for a post-apocalyptic HGTV special? That wasn't wasted time- that was you, unfiltered. Before the productivity cult got you. Before your calendar looked like a game of Tetris, and joy got shoved into the "maybe Saturday
