13 h. ago The one change that worked: I quit fighting about politics with my friends and family

I was always up for a fierce dinner-table debate – but if differences are aired without ever reaching a resolution, what’s the point?I hate confrontation. Even a whiff of beef can keep me up at night. As a journalist, I’ve learned to listen and to probe only gently, never raising my voice or outwardly judging.

2 w. ago Love and Loss: The Pandemic Five Years On is an emotionally shattering re

For those of us lucky enough not to have lost anyone dear, the 12 months between March 2020 and March 2021 now have the quality of a peculiar dream. If we think of the period at all, it’s often in the context of alternating boredom and strangeness; breadmaking and homeschooling; bingeing Tiger King and wondering if 4pm is too early for a glass of wine.
