Last Saturday, I was able to moderate a local Comic-Con Q+A panel. Years ago, it wouldn’t have been possible without a lot of shaking and shivering through the whole ordeal despite having prepared notes beforehand. But that weekend, I...
I am 24, and I’ve been pulling my hair for at least 16 years. When I was younger, I would twirl my hair into knots and then pull the ball of knotted hair out. In middle school, I didn’t...
