All you need is melted chocolate, peppermint extract, and candy canes to make this delicious and easy holiday bark recipe — I seem to always overbuy boxes of candy canes. They’re inexpensive, festive, and often on sale before the holidays. But when Christmas is over, I still have candy canes in abundance. However, I’ve discovered plenty of ways to use them. Like using crushed candy canes to rim a holiday cocktail…

Every Story I’ve Ever Written on Medium Is Sitting on a Plagiarized Account on Newsbreak

If Oscar Wilde was right, I should be highly flattered — It’s unsettling to see an article you wrote copied word for word, including the links and images. But it’s absolutely mindblowing to see every single article you have published on Medium showing up on a different platform under someone else’s name.

Did You Know Your Medium Earnings Can Sometimes Lag?

I received payment for a story on a day it had zero views — I noticed a story show up in my Medium earnings recently that hadn’t made any money this month. Since the views have been mainly external for this one, it hasn’t generated much income. (As you know, Medium only pays for internal reads of paying members.) Curious, I clicked on “View…
