- President’s Day weekend recap: first bike ride of the year (and featuring this cracking view), apartment organizing, a ‘Supermarket Sweep’-style dash around Ikea, podcast editing, reading ‘There, There’, chili and burritos, deadlifts and bench presses, ‘Vice’ and tacos with @calisajh and @rbperc, red velvet ice cream, ‘The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’ and the return of the sun. #weekendrecap #SanFranciscoRecently finished reading: ‘I Might Regret This’ by Abbi Jacobson. As a ‘Broad City’ fan @abbijacobson’s book has been on my TBR list for yonks (thank you @sfpubliclibrary 🙏🏼) but it was so different to what I was expecting. Foolishly, until reading this essay collection, I conflated Abbi and Ilana with their self-titled Broad City characters, so I was a little unprepared for the pulsating anxiety at the heart of Jacobson’s essays, written during a three week solo road trip across the States. ‘I Might Regret This’ was a quick read yet it took me about half the book to actually get into her writing, and although there were funny moments, there was also a level of melancholy I wasn’t expecting. I didn’t know how to feel after finishing this book but I’m grateful to have an insight into a comedy writer whose work I admire. #recentlyfinishedreading #AbbiJacobsonSend in the clowns... 🤡 Happy Sunday from this polka dotted loon. #SanFrancisco #whpcolorwheel 📷: @calisajhRecently finished reading: ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I’ve watched the infamous @ted talk this was adapted from, but wanted to read it now as it concludes my year of reading only female authors. If you’ve been following for a while you may have noticed, but for the last 12 months I’ve devoted my reading to women – either as authors, editors or essayists. I wanted to give myself space to soak up as many female experiences and narratives as possible, and support the feminist movement from a cultural perspective. It has been a joy and allowed me to revel in favourite writers such as @mscaitlinmoran, along with discovering new (to me) authors including Sally Rooney, @renieddolodge, @veschwab, Ottessa Moshfegh and @bitchesgottaeat. I could waffle on at length (and I still have a TBR list of women that I don’t know I’ll ever finish) but will save that for an article instead. In summary, women are f**king awesome, support them and their work, and don’t brush off artistic achievements as “chick lit.” The End. #recentlyfinishedreading #ChimamandaNgoziAdichie
