Morning. How we feeling? Today’s theme: women.
Let’s get into the recs:
1/ This was an excellent post.
Two pull quotes I thought really hit:
We need different ways of seeing and doing, different ideas, different models of leadership. That’s what women can offer. Though not if they swallow the Kool-Aid of ‘leaning in’. That is, working with what exists, not challenging it at a fundamental level. We don’t need women to be men. We need women to be woman.
and
I said when I started these columns again, at the end of January 2025, that I feared what was most under threat from the daily bombardment on reality that the ultra-right indulges in, is not only how we live - the fabric of our lives - but our capacity to imagine how we might live. Progress depends on imagination - it depends on seeing further - not looking back to past solutions that didn’t work at the time and will never work now. History is there to guide us, but the leap is an imaginative one.
2/ This is a cute little project! If you’re into sports or queer or adjacent to either, check it out.
3/ Have you seen John Proctor is the Villain? If you’re in NYC, check it out. Here’s an interview with the playwright and director.
Thought this was review was also solid.
That’s all for this week’s themed drop. Don’t forget your umbrella today, New Yorkers. Have a good one.
