@eatlikeagirl @theidahochef Fear not, I didn't read it as a judgement💁‍♀️was trying to implement a 'deep work' programme of focus a la Cal Newport and that definitely helped keep my brain on the straight and narrow. Now it's back to: https://t.co/MLSknL7B4Y

The Lottery

Shirley JacksonSigne JohansenSigne Johansen

Well I don't know what this says about my state of mind, but intrigued by the mentions of how unsettling Shirley Jackson's short story 'The Lottery' is, I listened to A.M. Homes read it before bedtime and slept soundly for the first time all week... https://t.co/VF4h7AdApb

There Is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century

Fiona HillSigne JohansenSigne Johansen

Fiona Hill is a force to be reckoned with and she’s a *great* choice to be the new Chancellor of Durham University. I listened to the audio version of ‘There is nothing for you here’ and found it completely fascinating. Hopefully her book will be published in the UK soon 🤞 https://t.co/JT7XcJBpxT https://t.co/PgFTwaePqI
