A lesser-known power of Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery' is where it comes in its collection. Spoilers, but I suspect you know how 'The Lottery' ends. It's famous for a reason. But this is important: Jackson arranged the collection it was named after, and she chose the arrangement. 1/

One way to commemorate the end of the third year of Russia’s senseless, criminal war against Ukraine is to read the work of Ukrainians about it. Vika did not live to see the publication of this book, since she was killed by a Russian missile. But we can see her in her words.

What was it like to be part of a beloved Task show on depleted dopamine? Get nominated for a Perrier? Witness my Dad's heart attack? Work 100 hour weeks as a junior doctor? Cameos from Cleese, Corden and Collins (Gemma). It's good. www.penguin.co.uk/books/456343...

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

The purpose of negative emotions is not to cause misery. It’s to prevent mistakes. Outrage is a signal to speak up. Anxiety is a prompt to prepare. Guilt is a reminder to repair. Disappointment is a cue to persist. Pain reveals principles. Where we hurt is a clue to what we value.

With talk of protests and how to be effective, I’m reminded of that girl I saw a few years ago on tiktok who said she’d found her local police department’s minimum fitness requirements and made sure she could run the distances 10% faster than that and hadn’t been caught by the police since.
