It’s not just expenses you will have to wrangle with as a singleton. There’s what seems to be an acceptable bias towards singletons. A recent study found that rental agents are more likely to pick a married couple over a single person to rent to. In the experiment conducted by the University of Virginia, rental agents read descriptions of multiple applicants for a rental property and chose one.

She says they’ve taken care of up to 100 COVID patients at a time during the peak of the pandemic. “Honestly, it’s been the hardest year in many of our lives, in health care in general.

Marjan Naderi, DC’s youth poet laureate in 2020, had long worried that poetry was dying. After years of expressing herself through poems, winning slam poetry contests, and even publishing her own book, Naderi wondered whether her craft was worth the effort anymore. “We spent the past four years seeing our speech as something disposable, when it’s anything but that,” Naderi said in an interview with The DC Line. “Is this nation even ready for poems? Especially the last few years, I was like, ‘What am I doing?’” And then she listened as Amanda Gorman recited her poem “The Hill We Climb” at Presi...

Jones, a UVA associate professor of religious studies, explores the concept of patience in his forthcoming book, “Patience: A Theological Exploration. Part 1: From Creation to Christ.” "Patience with respect to the pandemic is obviously a good thing. We need to wait it out. We need to be diligent. We need to persist with mask-wearing, physical distancing, all that stuff," Dafydd Jones said. "But patience vis-à-vis the crisis of global heating? Patience vis-à-vis right wing extremism? That would...
