Every Sunday morning when you should be in church, you heathen, you’ll get an illustrated column from me. Each comes straight from the middle of things — close encounters from the cafe and strange attempts to be a good human in unhinged times.

I’m Cat Moore —writer, rogue researcher, single mom, and former Director of Belonging (USC) who somehow ended up studying humans by sitting in cafes for a decade.
