A whole bunch of good links
Happy Sunday; I’ve got lots of good reads for you from this week. I especially enjoyed this piece from Jill Filipovic about why Type A women love yoga, which I found extremely relatable and I’m guessing many of you might, too. And don’t miss the Patricia Lockwood piece in the London Review of Books — everything she writes is such a pleasure to read (Priestdaddy was incredible!) and this piece is no exception.
