"I must tell you that in private life I have no patience at all with lunatics." - Sigmund Freud

Jenny Odell's book about reclaiming our attention was my favourite pandemic read - her new one is about time, and I am SO stoked. Here's her interview in Wired and also, in GQ: "Everyone Has the Same 24 Hours” Is Not a Good Way to Think About Time Management"
“I did literally all of the things I was told to do to be successful, and yet I still lack stability on so many levels. ... So my midlife crisis is probably me reckoning with these feelings and having to figure out how to move forward and how to modernize my approach and manage my expectations.” Midlife was supposed to come with stability, but for millennials, it's merely another crisis. This Isn’t What Millennial Middle Age Was Supposed to Look Like [Jessica Grose, The New York Times - free link]
The international mystery of ‘the Hum’ [Imogen West-Knights, FT Magazine]
How My Daughter's Rescue Dog Helped Me Deal with Her Addiction [Caleb Daniloff, Runner's World] [via Culture Study]
Meet Marlena Fejzo, the scientist who solved the mystery of extreme pregnancy sickness [Alice Callahan, The New York Times - free link]
"I don’t think a conversation about whether sex work or pornography is good or bad is particularly useful. The conversation I hope to have isn’t about morality. It’s about a blindspot." Beyond Deep Throat [Saskia Vogel, Granta]
If older women like Helen Mirren ‘shouldn’t have long hair’, when do I have to cut mine? Excuse me, whatnow? [Victoria Richard, The Independent]
"I am seeing evidence that people taught knowledge management for its own sake produce unexciting work. This is not a genetic condition. I think they could do better if they wrote what they knew, rather than what they recorded." Notes Against Note-Taking Systems [Saskia Chapin]
Life is easier with a Fake Assistant [Ella Quittner, The Cut]
What TikTok does to your mental health (TL;DR nothing good) [Kari Paul, The Guardian]
Dansk and the Promise of a Simple Scandinavian Life [Alexandra Lange, The New Yorker]
"This has been the biggest revelation to me: just how many drinks I have had in my life that I didn’t really want. Drinking for the sake of drinking. It’s madness. Because, let’s be honest, it is only the first one that has any real impact anyway. The rest is just habit." Adrian Chiles cut back on booze [The Guardian]
London's Overground lines are finally, actually, to be given separate names, and I am genuinely at the edge of my seat. [Jonn Elledge, CityMonitor]
