What’s up, hoes.

Where do I begin?

The things I’m been consuming lately:

• I’m currently, slowly making my way through n+1’s The Intellectual Situation: The Best of n+1’s Second Decade. I’ve read “Canvassing”, by Nikhil Saval (a fun romp), H. by Sarah Resnick (sadder), and “Uncanny Valley” by Sarah Wiener (also a fun romp, and a piece that semi-reminded me of where I am currently, although I work in the “tech” sector of San Antonio and not the other, bigger, San Francisco). A few more essays later, and now I’m at the beginning of “Superking Son Scores Again.”

• I’ve been listening to The Study Hall Podcast, and I’ve made my way through the episodes interviewing Jacob Silverman, Charlie Porter, Derek Beres, Sarah Miller, Alicia Kennedy, and Shawna Kenney.  I liked all of them. The Alicia Kennedy one mentioned Moldova so of course I had to look at her newsletter to see what she was raving about and it was the book After Brezhnev, in her newsletter. That one will be on my shelf. I’ll probably buy it, then not read it for six to twelve months. Or start it and never finish it.

• The essay Sarah Miller wrote on her ayahuasca experience, “Pirates of the Ayahuasca.”

• I’m also watching Pantheon with my boyfriend (who recently got back after his third stint in rehab – something that felt short and long at the same time). I get antsy after sitting for several hours watching something, but he can sit and watch. For hours. I’m not sure what this difference says about us. 

• Recently, at work, I read a piece at Business Insider on how women who make more money than their partners divorce more often as well. The one statistic that I found simmering is that the only time women don’t do more unpaid labor at home than men is when the man is unemployed and the woman has a full-time job, at which point, they end up doing the same amount of labor. It’s roughly even.
