      The Greater Good

      Jul 10, 2023

      Rachel closed down the screen on her wrist-tab. She smiled at the man sitting across the desk and waited for him to begin. “I want to request a dissolution,” he said. “My mother—she was murdered—and I want the man who did it dissolved.” Rachel frowne

      Q I'm sure you'll think I'm ridiculous: I'm a 70-year-oldwoman and I'm starting to wonder if I might not be gay. I did get married and had two children whom I adore, but I've always felt an outsider. I've always had very close friendships with women

      Feb 1, 2023
