What's got my attention this week #44

Links, recs and whole bunch of things to get you through the weekend

OJ Simpson died Wednesday, of cancer, aged 76. Seems like a good time to remember Nicole Brown Simpson who was murdered 30 years ago this summer, aged 35

SCROLLING
• “My mother is a pirate.”
• Love this by Lyn Slater on striving and a severe case of the shoulds.
• Remember those hideous seasonal colour analyses? Apparently, they’re back!
• I read two interesting pieces on being trans this week: The first is on trans-parenting and when your 21-year-old son becomes your daughter, the second is a fascinating perspective on the way transitioning “stops time”.
• “At 43, I got an email telling me it was time to get Botox.”
• This interview with Paul Simon about the (repeated) mistakes he made marrying Carrie Fisher, made me wish she was alive to answer back. £
• The importance of wise, old mentors.
