SCROLLING
• Cher is on the publicity trail, here are two pieces I loved: “The phone call with Cher that made me want to be 78”, and 14 fascinating stories from Cher’s (first) memoir.
•

Poorna Bell
didn’t expect her midlife crisis to be at 44. FWIW I think mine was 46.
• Cormac McCarthy’s secret muse. (Clue: she was 16, he was 42…)
•
Carole Cadwalladr
on how to survive the broligarchy.
• Great piece by Christina Kelly on why she wishes she’d had access to HRT earlier.
• “All the leftover love I had to give to a mother, I have given to my friend Dorothy.” Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous on intergenerational friendship.
