Jessica Mitford talking about article word lengths in Poison Penmanship. Even though the landscape is *very* different now there is something very reassuring and relatable about this collection. One of the best books I’ve read this year. https://t.co/QccQExMD1S

This is why I’m so glad I read Marilyn in Manhattan by Elizabeth Winder (thanks for the rec, Angelica) and The Many Lives of Marilyn by Sarah Churchwell as part of my Blonde prep. https://t.co/QdisAZVKnL

Eve Babitz

I’m just finishing reading the brilliant Slow Days, Fast Company. It took me longer than it should’ve done due to how often I want to look things up that Babitz is talking about.

I sped through the first two thirds of One Last Stop and then took two days to finish it because I didn’t want it to end. Another swing triumph from Casey McQuiston (that also made me miss the subway).

Rereading some of Kim Gordon’s “Girl in a Band” and a fun time stamp is the cinema ticket I used as a bookmark (this is one reason I miss tickets like this). https://t.co/eN0ffhn8Vx

Just finished Nell Scovell’s “Just the Funny Parts,” which is eye opening and also includes so many unsurprising stories about this industry that still made me feel sad. https://t.co/S8OAWe9cvb
