I've been binge-listening to the podcast "The Lovecraft Investigations" - really wonderful radio dramas by Julian Simpson. So clever, in that they tag onto real world facts and then go off in a mad occult fantasy. Good stuff, if you don't take this sort of thing too seriously.
I was idly googling to find out more about Julian Simpson, and found his website - where he recommends Hadley Freeman's recent piece for Unherd. He has a section called "Morning Pages' where he notes interesting stuff to start the day:
Lastly, Hadley Freeman's piece for Unherd "Why I stopped being a good girl" is cogent and well-argued. I went back and forth about posting this, because I know some people won't agree with a word of it. But, on balance, I think it's a solid piece of writing. I can't promise that everything you read on here will chime with your view of the world, but I think it's important to get both sides of the story, and this is one side articulated very well.
In a time when many interesting artists are sadly jumping on the "woke" bandwagon, I was pleasantly surprised to read this. It's moderate & couched with qualifiers ** but straightforward.
Anyway, good to know that one of my favourite radio writers is saying this!
** I don't blame anyone for being careful. I have had to be very careful myself, to keep my job.
