The annual Time 100 list is out and our very own Miranda July is on it for her zeitgeist shaping book All Fours

If you enjoy my work here on The Shift and would like to receive two new posts a week, access the archive, join the bookclub etc why not become paid subscriber. (Sausage the cat will thank you.)

SCROLLING
• Molly Ringwald on the

Miranda July
authenticity revolution.
• Let’s get the Blue Origin space travesty out of the way. As usual, the internet is awash with think pieces, here are two I loved: Marina Hyde being Marina Hyde in the Guardian and
Clara
on space feminism. One giant leap backwards for the planet and for women.
• I love
Clover Stroud
on 50 things she’s learnt at 50. Happy birthday Clover!
• “As a child, my imagination ran wild with various identities that could solve the mystery of my nameless, faceless father. One recurring daydream was a romantic war hero.” Gorgeous by
Petra Khashoggi
.
• Ukrainian cook Olia Hercules on resilience, hope and soft power.
