It was such a privilege to be able to write this feature for @guardian about how people are using artificial intelligence to help them process grief. I think it's my favourite feature I've ever written.

People are turning to chatbot impersonations of lost loved ones to help them grieve. Will AI help us live after we’re dead?

I loved writing about how people are finding community through playing fantasy games like Dungeons & Dragons for @BusinessInsider. Thanks so much to @AnnaProsser, @orlaawalsh, and others for sharing your experiences and bringing this story to life. 🐉🔮.

Fantasy tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons are booming. No longer just for nerds, they're now the hot new hangout.

and with the use of pet calming products on the rise, it looks like we’re on track to raise a generation of pets who are even more stressed out than their owners.

while it's a nice idea to want to spoil your pets, failing to enforce proper boundaries can result in a nervous and entitled dog who thinks your sofa is their throne and loses it if anyone else tries to touch you.

I wrote about why treating your pets like humans is actually a one-way ticket to raising a furry little tyrant (even if your heart’s in the right place) for @BusinessInsider 🐶.
businessinsider.com
Birth rates are declining, and millennials own more pets than any other age group. But experts say treating animals like kids isn't good for them.

Trends offering different ideas of femininity are hard to escape online. Are they tongue-in-cheek fun, feminist, or actually doing women more harm than good?

For @BusinessInsider I wrote about how so many of my favourite childhood websites have already been sucked into oblivion, and how the internet isn't as permanent as everyone warned us it would be. RIP Club Penguin. 🫶🐧

I'm filling out a DBS application and it's insisting that I need to disclose a previous name if I choose "Ms" instead of "Miss" - sorry what century are we living in @DBSgovuk?.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this campaign since I saw this a few days ago, it makes me feel absolutely nauseous and I'm literally begging you not to write "I'm asking for it" on public billboards.

Rushing a sorority has become a social media phenomenon. For some creators, it can also be parlayed into a dream career as an influencer.

I feel very lucky to have had @sirenabergman as my editor during my time on the digital culture desk at @BusinessInsider. She's an extremely knowledgeable and articulate editor & I trusted her entirely with everything I wrote. Working with her made me a much better journalist. 💖.

Was so fun to see @aimeepearcy_ consistently covering what would become huge topics of conversation before they hit the mainstream. Remember "girl dinner"? She was critically reporting on the trend way before pretty much anyone else
