Something I wish got challenged more often in this “men in crisis” discourse is the blithe assumption (or sometimes outright assertion!) that everyone’s boss is a woman now. “Women now dominate white collar work and corporate management roles.” No they don’t. That just isn’t true.

In her final thesis, she focused on fashionable and performative forms of expression in forward-looking urban design and the move away from cars.
The cycle path and the car dress as well as the frustration boxer were also part of her project.

I love my current book stacks—love more looking through another person’s stack; mine are in each room in my home. A reminder in passing, of work/reading waiting while I migrate from room to room.
I was asked to write a piece about different genres/formats of “gathering” — the bookstack itself being one such example! This’ll be a fun collection to work through :)
