What's got my attention this week

Things to read, watch & listen to this weekend #113

I’ve been in so many minds about whether to give the whole furore around Serena Williams advocating for GLP-1s more airspace. But in the end I decided that @afua’s article on Serena, Weight and Whiteness is well worth your time.

Below the paywall today: when your body doesn’t match your style, the movie I’m most excited about this autumn drops a trailer (and it’s really special), in praise of evicting the scales, the cancer no-one wants to talk about, enslaved grandparent syndrome, perimenopausal horniness, is self-help making us self-obsessed? and more.
