Primary School and Seating Assignment Mayhem.

Teachers who think they hold all the power learn the hard way I have a superpower. Conversations are often thought to be back-and-forth volleys. But I have the ability to carry out a whole conversation all by myself. Those who know me understand I can talk for an entire day. Assuming I get the chance. …

I Miss Fighting With You.

How did Vaisya unlearn communication? Vaisya lingered on the video call, watching her best friend Rachel fidget with her necklace — a nervous habit she’d recognized from college.

My First Experience at the Detention Book Club

Who in their right mind wakes up at 4 a.m. for a book club?  Well, apparently, I do—at least, I did this one time. Detention’s second session took place on Monday, January 13th, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. CST. But for me, living in a time zone nine hours ahead, that meant a  4:00 a.m. wake-up …
