Redirect the money to black families and communities. Asking for advice is hard because accepting reality is hard Negotiating Recently someone in my writing class hired a lawyer to tell me she wants a refund for the class.

I do not say anywhere that I [ ]Read moreMay 20, 2020/27 Commentsby Penelope Trunk https://blog.penelopetrunk.com/cdn/brother-public-reading-childhood-diaries-2-blogsize.jpg Penelope Trunk2020-05-20 05:36:082020-05-20 09:40:19Asking for advice is hard because accepting reality is hard Emails my mom sent from her NYC co-op Parenting I stopped talking with my mom a few years ago. She might not have noticed at first. My brothers have all cut her off at times as well. But my mom is pragmatic. She knows she and my dad were terrible parents. She apologizes and by all accounts, she is a much more enjoyable person [ ]Read moreMay 9, 2020/52 Commentsby Penelope Trunk https://blog.penelopetrunk.com/cdn/nyc-style-social-distancing-roof-blogsize.jpg Penelope Trunk2020-05-09 02:33:532020-05-09 11:26:08Emails my mom sent from her NYC co-op Aspergers or ADHD?

The answer will surprise you. This is a great time to make a career change Finding a career I learned about bouncing back from the diet industry. This is not surprising. All the best research about personal development comes from the diet industry because there s so much money to be made if you can figure out how to help people lose weight. One study that I have never forgotten is that if you [ ]Read moreApril 25, 2020/13 Commentsby Penelope Trunk https://blog.penelopetrunk.com/cdn/sparky-questionably-real-dog-sniffs-fake-dog-blogsize.jpg Penelope Trunk2020-04-25 22:56:562020-04-26 12:06:49This is a great time to make a career change I was calm until I read about colleges staying closed until September 2022 Education Each night before I go to sleep, I lay in bed torturing myself with the day s news. I know we are not supposed to do that, but there are very few vices I can fully engage in when we have five people living in a 1000-square-foot apartment. Screen-time news right before bed is a vice [ ]Read moreApril 15, 2020/43 Commentsby Penelope Trunk https://blog.penelopetrunk.com/cdn/castle-bed-blogsize.jpg Penelope Trunk2020-04-15 16:49:262020-04-20 02:27:12I was calm until I read about colleges staying closed until September 2022 It s time for Seder, which is Zeder, in our modern-day-plague ravaged Passover Diversity Last week I received a very long email with instructions for Zeder. This year millions of Jews around the world will log into Zoom, and try to continue a 2000-year tradition of not changing the tradition. We will recall plagues of past like infestation of locusts and raining frogs and we ll silently scoff that Egypt [ ]Read moreApril 8, 2020/23 Commentsby Penelope Trunk https://blog.penelopetrunk.com/cdn/passover-plate-setup-blogsize.jpg Penelope Trunk2020-04-08 18:10:012020-04-10 04:53:46It's time for Seder, which is Zeder, in our modern-day-plague ravaged Passover What it s like to be a single parent who has coronavirus. Parenting I knew something was wrong the day my son lay in bed in an emergency room waiting for his MRI to come back.

Schools are closed. Kids are home. What s the long-term impact of that? Education Sometime in February, it was clear that the US was headed toward crisis, and every day we don t take major action would make the crisis geometrically worse. Suburban schools closed first.
