Women & "Big Think"
From Where Are the Renaissance Women?: HarperStudio editor Julia Cheiffetz’s original point of discussion was the omission of women in Macolm Gladwell’s new book on “high-achievers”: The omission of women in Outliers says more about the nature of “big think” books than it does about Mr.Gladwell. Since the publication of The Tipping Point we’ve seen a proliferation of books that present a single,...

The Hold Steady Drops By →
fuckyeahtheholdsteady: thegrammys: Indie rockers the Hold Steady joined the GRAMMY Museum’s ongoing The Drop series on May 3, discussing their newly released album Heaven Is Whenever. Click over for “We Can Get Together,” “The Weekenders,” and interview clips. Smallest and soberest venue I’ll ever see The Hold Steady in, guaranteed!

It's Trustees Week!
Sadly, not as fun as Fleet Week. Probably because it’s nothing like Fleet Week, I just miss NYC. The building feels empty and I’m working on long term projects. I need y’all to entertain me this week, OK?

Variations on a theme.
This is paraphrased from a chat I had with Aggie (she’s a phenomenal photographer, btw! hire her if you need someone in North Carolina) but I’ve had this general conversation a lot lately. I’ve been on both sides. A: i’m a mess today, aren’t i? B: everyone’s a mess every day B: but there’s a big ol’ lie where people tell you they’re not,...

I’ll be attending the LA Sex and the City Premiere. I have a love/hate relationship with Sex and the City, similar to my love/hate relationship with gender relations & representation. The show walked a line between satire and glorification until it squashed the satire. Liz calls out one of the most eye-roll worthy moments over on Boxing Is A Metaphor (abandoned over a year ago but...
