Hello, reader.

I’m a teacher, philosopher, accidental activist, and mother, but si pudiera ser superheroe, my cape would read:

“Defender of Dark Moods.”

As long as I live in a world where people apologize for crying in public, I will write books and essays on why complaining is good, why cheerfulness isn’t, and why Mister Rogers was right that “everyone has lots of ways of feeling and all of those feelings are fine.” You can find my work at The New York Times, New Philosopher, Womankind, and other places.

The book, Night Vision: Seeing Ourselves Through Dark Moods, came out on May 9, 2023.

Check out what drives me nuts on Instagram. I usually post on Wednesdays. Or sign up for my newsletter, In the Cave. Or both.
