To celebrate the release of Dilemmas in the UK, Foyles asked me to write an essay about Yamamoto and her life and work.
It's up on their site now, and I'd love it if you gave it a look—I love this book, and I'm so excited to have a platform to talk about it

The pronoun that matters is "we."
Imagine saying such a thing and being serious.

Yamamoto’s “The Dilemmas of Working Women” and James May’s “May on Motors”, because I contain multitudes. Two of my favorite perspectives on life honestly
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

some leftists take skincare too far
The US is becoming an authoritarian state and your concerned about the skincare routine of two podcasts hosts? This is not a commentary about you, but I do think some leftists take skincare too far. To be clear, I'm all for a reasonable level of moisturization, but not to the point of glistening.

I’m going to be honest with you: The headline is appalling, but the piece, which indeed has an absolutely bizarre tone of nostalgia, is worse.
