Content warning: suicide and mental illness Sylvia Plath has come to mean a kind of shorthand, both culturally and in literary circles. You could say the same about Anne Sexton, although much less so, at least in my opinion. Plath has come to be a symbol of an angsty, depressed teen girl who takes herself

Two years ago, the Aunt Becky College Admissions Bribery Scandal came to light.

I laughed when Tivo came out with QuickMode™, the option to speed through shows at a faster playback. I mean I guess if you have to watch something for homework or something (is that a thing?) and don’t really want to watch it, then the faster the better. But if you’re doing something for enjoyment,

The season for horror stories is never over. Especially this time around as the seasons transition and pollen covers every tangible surface; what could be scarier than getting through a workday with an allergy headache?
