Thereā€™s research to show that many opportunities come through what sociologists call ā€œweak tiesā€, people you know a little, recognize, FB friends. You know about all the things your close people know about. The next circle out is the best place to look, so science says you made a smart choice here.

I just went ahead and got another measles vax - Iā€™m 50, I got it at school, thereā€™s no downside to it. I had one day of tired/achy and that was that.

I think of it like the difference between walking on a road and wading through a swamp. The more boggy, mucky, slow, difficult, confounded, foolish, and slothful the resistance can make itself, the faster it exhausts the facists and then less they can ruin in a day.

Iā€™ll say mishebeirach for him, the Jewish prayer for swift and complete healing of the soul and body. Meanwhile I hope youā€™re also being cared for with love and patience, because this is hard as heck.

6ish years ago Elaine Welteroth became the EIC over there and expanded the mandate from being a fashion magazine for teen girls to a teen magazine, with plenty of fashion, then filled all that space with smart interesting work about politics, culture, and other things also of interest to teen girls.

Iā€™m honored! I actually meant editors of publications but if I decide to put it on Medium or something I will reach out.

I regret to report that it appears you spoke too soon.

Sometimes thatā€™s how it goes, though? I had a one night stand that turned into a conference fling and six weeks later I moved to Canada for the summer to see about this cute guy with all the big ideas. That was 18 years (and 3 kids and 11 books between us) ago this spring, so.
