    On the left, an armed man entering a government building to exercise his right to peaceful protest. On the right, an armed man entering a government building to murder people. In all sincerity, how is any ordinary person supposed to know the difference & respond appropriately?

    I decided that this year, every day, I would knit a row on a scarf to mark the corresponding daily temperature/weather of my town. It felt like a good way to engage with the changing climate and with the changing year. A way to notice and not look away. Here's January then.

    This is so damn encouraging. As a now-30 year old whose identity was wrapped up for 15+ years in being a runner, knowing that you can still kill it after time away is awesome. Hell yes.

    Something extraordinary is unfolding for American female distance runners, and it’s making all of us better. I spent last year aiming for an impossible goal. I failed but it was unexpectedly one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever tried.
