This woman’s work
ESSAY | We need to talk about work. I need to talk about work. Women’s work. This woman’s work. I just read a beautiful essay in the Paris Review. It’s entitled, Fuck the Bread. The ...
Beauty’s religion
Let’s go Rome! For those of you who don’t know, I am off to England and Italy tomorrow for three weeks of social and quasi-religious fulfilment. (Read: seeing friends, drinking cider, and buying ...
We could lay our heads down or be forever sleepless
First off, a note to the slowpokes: the Weekly Scoop story mentioned in my last post has already been replaced by the current week’s issue, so you missed the boat. HOWEVER, I will probably post a ...
Backbeat, the word is on the street
