Jane Fonda and Rebecca Solnit in San Francisco earlier this week. I want whatever they’re having.

SCROLLING
• My piece of the week: Dr Gladys, aged 102, shares her secrets to a life well lived.
• Is divorce a radical act?
• Calling, vocation, passion - all set you up to be taken advantage of by your boss.
• Kim Cattrall on love, grief and life after Samantha Jones. £
• And on the subject of Sex And The City, what’s it like rewatching the pilot 25 years on?
• Earphones: do they free us, or trap us? £
• Fascinating interview with Lynn Paltrow, who’s spent decades representing women jailed for miscarriages and stillbirths.
• Isabel Allende: 80 and refusing to play by the rules. (And if you enjoy that, you might like this episode of The Shift podcast I recorded with her last year. She’s my #OldBirdRoleModel.)
