To Be Read
Oops, the bookstore is open again. š
Hereās what I gotā
~~1) Build Your House Around My Body, by Violet Kupersmith~~
I *just* read this review in the NY Times and instantly moved it to the top of my to-read list. It reminded me of a Haruki Murakami story, which is pretty much all I needed to hear. Sometimes you can just tell youāre going to love a book. Also, this title is amazing.
~~2) The Bone Clocks, by David Mitchell~~
I read and loved Cloud Atlas last year (was it last year?) and now Iām ready for more. I picked this one because it always comes up when people talk about this author.
~~3) Hood Feminism, by Mikki Kendall~~
Been on my list for way too long and Iām really glad it was featured in the Staff Selections. Itās a collection of essays that provides a critique of modern feminism, points out the blind spots inside the movement, and details what we (feminists) need to do to get right.
Iām getting ready for a beach vacation, which one should I bring??

Emails for cult thought leaders.
(Personality included.)
Want to learn how to craft emails that inspire action and engagement WITHOUT the ātried and trueā (cough: patriarchal) norms weāve all been taught?
Iām doing it, and I can show you how to do it, too.
(But sometimes, I also like to write about the books Iām reading, or the creative process, or the entrepreneurial experience, or why I hate Steve Jobs, or how I met my BFF. Iāll send you emails like that, too.)
*Just kidding. Itās only an email list.
Books. Cats. Rants. Drawrings.
