non-believer
today on my commute home, a middle-aged gentleman and two kids carrying buckets boarded the train right behind me. the guy gave a speech about raising money for his third son, who was in the hospital with two crushed legs and had undergone $300k in surgeries or some such. everyone tuned him out, until he and his kids did the sweetest version of ‘lucy in the sky with diamonds,’ in three...

S.F. Judge Does About-Face on DNA Memo →
After ruling that a memo written by a DNA expert and DA consultant does not contain information about the San Francisco police department’s crime lab that could be exculpatory in a current murder and rape case, the judge changes his mind. A day later. The turning point? A closed interview with the memo’s author.

You guys, I don’t even know how it is that I haven’t already covered this life news. Fashionably late: I got a new job. The newspaper I’ve been working for since 2007, doing production-y type things and herding bloggers and half-heartedly poking around in web analytics, hired me to pull on my shoes and go outside and find some shit out. I am thrilled. Reporting is one of...

first world problems
I’ve diagnosed myself with post-partum depression. Don’t think I’m obnoxious even though you know I didn’t just give birth, ok. Hear me out. I just moved. Some of my more transient friends put their entire lives into Hefty bags and move in 3 hours and never look back and indeed do it again in a year. Me? No. I haven’t been able to do that in some time. I prefer to...

tesslynch: I hate when people give their past selves cute advice from the future. “Smell more things,” “Hug everybody more often,” “Cry.” I will pass on those things. Some smells are better neglected by the nose, not everyone deserves a hug, and crying is not something to force. But today I learned an important lesson, and it brought to mind some other important lessons, so here I am giving my...

I'm on the train
Guys who irritated me on public transportation today: The guy with the sweaty forehead and over-sized, tightly-belted pleated pants who was reading intently on his late 90’s Nokia phone the whole ride. What were you reading, man? The same text message 500 times? Your address book? The relentless frat boy in the Arizona State sweatshirt who managed to cut me off TWICE: on the escalator down...

First no rollerblading, now this
At some point in their 40’s, my parents decided it would be a good idea to give baby-making one more try. They already had a handful of pretty good kids, but I think over dinner one night someone mentioned how awesome they would be at parenthood if they did it again. Sometime later, I was born. That future elementary school anomaly: the girl with the old parents. My folks listened to old...
