Tha Good Good, Week of 9.20.19

Here's a roundup of some podcasts, documentaries, articles, and ideas I've been into this week.

1. A show I'm loving –
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
I envy those who have yet to watch this show but will. The cast, the music, the costumes - everything is fabulous.
Watch the housewife who takes on standup.

2. Something I'm reading –
'I Hate Dating Apps So Much!'
"If I find the process so grueling, why should I do it? My life as a single person is already pretty great, so what if I spent all that date time going on long walks with my dog? Getting really, really fit (the only thing standing between me and a Megan Rapinoe bod is MEN)? Reading books? Making veggie lasagna with my friend, her husband, and their 3-year-old? Isn’t that a better use of time than drinking at a dark bar with a man I’m most likely to find boring and unexciting? Why do I have to keep on spending my time this way? Can’t I just lean into my life of being single and abandon the pursuit of a partnered life?"

3. Someone I'm inspired by –
Caroline Catlin (@strongaswater), a writer and photographer in Seattle. Caroline is a family friend who, after years of unexplained headaches and memory loss, was diagnosed with an incurable type of brain cancer at 27. Through recent publications in Healthline and The New York Times, Caroline has used her grief as an opportunity to shed light on a part of the human experience some of us may never know. In amplifying her story, she reminds those going through crisis that they are not alone. Caroline, thank you for teaching me what resilience looks like.
