Normally, a civil forfeiture case hearing in Texas’ 394th Judicial District Court would not be a noteworthy news event. But a dismayed lawyer trapped in the body of a virtual cat trying to work Zoom? Now, that is newsworthy. Rod Ponton, a county attorney in Presidio County, TX, was prepared […]
Hot on the heels of Copenhagen Fashion Week, Stockholm’s best brands are showcasing their AW21 collections this week, with the likes of ATP Atelier, House of Dagmar, Rodebjer, Stand Studio and Weekday all showing digitally this season.

Here is a not-at-all-comprehensive list of times I’ve incorrectly used the term “emotional labour”: — To express my exasperation when my husband asked me where in our apartment we keep the batteries.— When commiserating with a friend whose mother-in-law expected only her to write all of the thank you notes […]
