✍︎ What's been capturing your stray attention?

A thread for subscribers

Hello,

It has been pointed out to me that it’s much better to set up threads in a normal newsletter than in the Chat. Apparently it’s far easier for people to take part if they’re not using the Substack app, which is something I hadn’t thought of before. So here I am, just in case you’re confused.

Anyway - what’s been capturing your stray attention lately?

I’ve been watching Community with Bert, who loves to binge his way through comedy boxsets, and so I was delighted to see Autistic Culture posting a deep-dive about the show on their podcast this week. I am now obsessed. Help me. 

I’ve also read The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year by Margaret Renkl, which is an absolutely beautiful diary of the teeming life around us. The illustrations are sumptuous.

I’ve also just started Rebecca Boyle’s Our Moon: A Human History, which looks very interesting, and Kirsty Sedgman’s On Being Unreasonable, which takes aim at the idea that being ‘reasonable’ will solve society’s problems. It turns out that ‘reasonable’ is very much in the eye of the beholder. 

Over to you - tell us what you’re reading, watching, and generally experiencing lately - it’s always wonderful to read your recommendations! 

Take care,

Katherine
