Hookup Culture

February 15, 2017February 15, 2017 Jo Tango

Yes, that’s right. I’m writing about casual sex. Let me explain. I subscribe to some podcasts, and, on the way to a Board meeting, listened to NPR’s Hidden Brain.

Sunday Snow

February 12, 2017February 13, 2017 Jo Tango

February 9, 2017February 9, 2017 Jo Tango

A major snowstorm today is shutting down the Northeast. I made it to the gym, grocery store and “packy” just before it really started to come down.

Activism Works

February 3, 2017February 3, 2017 Jo Tango
