    Hy3: Hi everyone. Thanks for coming out. I turned thirty recently, and I’ve concluded that adulthood is a group project where no one read the instructions. For example, laundry. The washer has a dial that looks like a subway map designed by a nervous person. Cold, warm, hot, permanent press, delicate, bulky.
