Broadcast News is many things: James L. Brooks rom-com, 1987 Oscar nominee, one of the few films to accurately portray the specific world of journalism (along with Spotlight, which will always be the most accurate purely because it took pains to dress its reporters poorly). One thing I’ve never heard Broadcast News referred to as, … Read more

In 2019, she sold the home essentials brand she co-founded called The Laundress with no real next steps in mind, but eventually pivoted to jewelry making. Yet, despite the striking change in career paths, her friends and family probably could have guessed what she’d do next. Casually, … Read more

My stepmother disposed of that handgun in his sock drawer, but there were other things I kept: a microfilm camera, a pocket watch, a handful of gold coins, 1980s mail-order forms for pornography, his signet ring.
