Around my birthday (which is today 🥳) I always feel a lot of love. I’m incredibly lucky to have so much love in my life. From the love of my life, to the love of my cat, to the love of my friends, to the love for my fellow person — there is so much…
tldr; Want to skip straight to the news and find out about my new job? On December 15, 2014 I went to dinner with Jukay Hsu. I was 25 years old and not too proud to say yes to a free meal, and my friend Josh said I really should meet him. I was none…
Yesterday I posted this on Mastodon and Bluesky to share how much I’ve been enjoying blogging as a creative outlet.

I. I once knew a wonderful man. He was kind, gentle, and beloved by many. He was so wise that when he graduated from college, Mahatma Gandhi himself handed him his diploma. He was a scholar and a gentleman, blessed with the unique gift of deeply knowing Sanskrit and Hindi. He spent much of his…
I’ve always felt very conflicted about the idea of donating my organs when I die. On the one hand, it’s entirely in accordance with my values. I strive to help anyone I can in any way I can, whenever possible — even in death. On the other hand, despite having lapsed in my Judaism —…
Consider this a PSA. I went to the doctor in September to get some blood tests done for my never-ending health crusade and was shocked to find out that I have shockingly low vitamin D levels. I was surprised by this because I walk at least 30 minutes every day, and many days that’s upwards…
Hard to believe it’s over. My time at Twitter wasn’t perfect but it was incredibly special and there’s little I would change about it (though less crypto would be cool).
