A very powerful book on love and how we all somehow fail at it.
It's a deeply political and personal critique of what it means to love (and be loved) in our patriarchal, transphobic and consumerist society.

Just seeing the RCT 'scandal' brewing among econs again. This is not a question about some bad apples or some instances of malpractice. The RCT industry has been completely distorted from its inception in Econ and this is closely tied to the incentive structure of the discipline.

If, like me, you're really into bouldering, this short film is absolutely incredible.
The breakdown of the crux (ie the most difficult move of a climb) between 2:30 and 5:00 is pure poetry.
