I can't believe this is a series!? Gah. Need.

I wasn't sure right up until the end how that would work out! Pretty satisfying.

Just absolutely fascinating, like watching a slow moving train wreck.

A reasonable uptodate summary of habit formation. I like the ideas that habits might change to suit different needs, that our emotions play a big part in sticking to habits, and the reminder that pinning all your hopes on tomorrow-you being a superman is probably not going to work out.

The book includes both the gorgeously illustrated story based on Inuit folklore, as well as a lengthy afterward and a discussion by the Inu translator who had translated the story from a Greenland Inuit language to Inuktitut.

I feel like I would have been more into this if I was younger? I've got almost a decade on Benoit - she learned about feminism on twitter, I found my footing on blogs and forums, the internet was a different place then! 

I read it compulsively tho, the chapters are short listicles or medium length more reflective pieces. Aside from from some chuckles and head nods I did feel like overall I didn't get the full payoff the blurb promised - like girl you were too exhausted to play chill girl games with cis straight men but you're still working 3 jobs? All of that plus 10years plus pandemic is our currently level (I no longer work three jobs because no thank you)

Lovely collection of photographs from different indigenous groups around US and Canada. Includes important context of the history of the treatment of each group and the photographers who took the photographs.

After the end of a partnership - only in much more literary imagery. Why was the table of contents at the back of the book tho?

Yup, my "parent dying young of cancer" story is different but the grief is very real.

I kept tearing up, not sure if that's my inner state speaking or the roughness and love in the text between coach and players.
