I have no clue how to ride a bicycle. “WHAT??? You don’t know how to ride a bike?” you say to yourself, while talking at the computer. Yes, there are humans on this planet who never learned the art of bicycle riding, and I happen to be one of them. How did I manage to…… Continue reading Commuting from the Burbs
I get it from my mother. That’s not true. I get it from myself. Although I probably picked it up from a lot of the people I have interacted with, during my short time on this planet. But I am very stubborn. And I’m stubborn about things that don’t even matter, while I am a…… Continue reading I Am Stubborn
To be fair, nobody really owns a cat, but to the extent that a cat can be owned, I have one of them. I bet you were super surprised. Whoa, a knitter who owns a cat? That is unprecedented.

However, it still shows us that in this day and age, women in…… Continue reading Globalized Inequality
Apparently, the NYPD is using Smart Cars to patrol certain areas and streets instead of using their old scooters. They won’t be using these cars to chase criminals.
