Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism

Amanda Montell

Listen to or read @AmandaMontell’s CULTISH for the phrase “party Buddhist” but stay for “ex-Shambhalan.” (Jokes aside, the book is compelling) https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2021/06/review-cultish-amanda-montell-language-fanaticism/619165/ @sophieGG @carmelelise

Stanley Tucci

Packing for #IJF22 & realizing how much I counter-program my own life, i.e., the reading combination of @SPlokhy’s "The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine” & Stanley Tucci’s “Taste."

Michelle Millar Fisher

It reminded me of what DESIGNING MOTHERHOOD co-author Michelle Millar Fisher told me that the biggest win for working parents could be: “Being able to look at the to-do list of an organization & make space in terms of doing 5-7 things rather than 10.” https://t.co/RQDPQxUHa5 2/2

The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life

Twyla Tharp
Emily GoligoskiEmily Goligoski

Artists’ autobiographical reflections have powerful precedent: Twyla Tharp’s "The Creative Habit," @questlove's "Mo’ Meta Blues," @ANNELAMOTT’s "Bird by Bird," Patti Smith’s National Book Award-winning writing. "The Creative Act" may not become a lasting reference in the genre.
