SCROLLING
• I don’t know when I stopped listening to music, but it was around the time I started mainlining podcasts and audiobooks. Last week, for “research”, I went down a Neneh Cherry rabbit hole and remembered what I missed. This piece by

Lauren Bravo
captures it perfectly.
• It’s World Menopause Day today (18 October) and
Dr. Jen Gunter
has taken the paywall off her greatest hits. Go go go!
• Also love this piece on menopause by The Shift alumna, poet Salena Godden.
• The truth is, most of us are minor talents.
• Glorious Barbara Kingsolver on why JD Vance doesn’t get to speak for Appalachia. £
• The skinification of beauty.
