Reading Week #12

06.27.2014 by Nicola Balkind //

Hello, hello.

It’s been a while, huh? I honestly didn’t even realise it was Friday last time it rolled around.

I’m still in Edinburgh, still working full time (12th day on the trot), and am still exhausted.

No matter, here are a handful of links to tide you over til my work life calms the eff down next week.

Enjoy!

–– ON ROBOTNIC.CO ––

Nothing to see here – but, if you’re curious, I’ve published 18+ posts over on the Edinburgh International Film Festival website these past 2 weeks.

& a reminder: Win a copy of my book on Goodreads!

 

–– ARTS & CULTURE ––

A message from Wales to Scotland: Vote Yes. [VIDEO]

Western Art History: 500 Years of Women Ignoring Men. Mallory Ortberg, man. You just gotta.

Lots of great recommendations here: Every Book [Austin Kleon] Recommended on Book Tour.

 

–– DIGITAL ––

Tavi Gevison is just cooler than most other people. Deal with it.

My Imaginary Friends: The Beauty YouTuber Economy. Great piece on The Hairpin, and one which probably explains a lot of my peaks and troughs in watching beauty YouTube.

 

–– &c. ––

Why you hate work. Hint: the system is broken. I am transitioning out of office work at the moment and may have to re-read this in a few weeks’ time…

& related: The Minimum Wage Worker Strikes Back. Great reporting and utterly maddening.

Rebecca Solnit takes the anti-mansplaining effort to another level with a book entitled Men Explain Things to Me. More here.
