Katrin Koenning is a visual artist from Germany whose work travels across still and moving images and text, at times including found materials, painting and collage. Pursuing intimacy and interconnection her work centres around practice as relational encounter. Most stories evolve through years and use returning as a way of drawing closer. Different series often intersect, merging in and out of each other. In her extended image-dialogues, Katrin uses fragments and slippages to suggest narrative spaces, communities and lived experiences that are allied, fluid and multiplicit. Many of her series render non-human human entanglement and intimate kin, positing imaginaries with a greater-than-human world.Katrin has been the recipient of multiple awards, such as the Bowness Photography Prize. Her work is regularly exhibited in Australian and international solo and group exhibitions including presentations at Ishara Art Foundation Dubai, Chobi Mela, Paris Photo, Hamburg Triennial of Photography, Museum of Australian Photography, Centre for Contemporary Photography, Australian Centre for Photography and the National Gallery of Victoria (2023). Koenning's images have been published in The New Yorker, Vogue.com, Zeit Magazine, The Guardian, New York Times, Esquire Italy, Der Spiegel, Yucca Magazine, California Sunday and many other places. Her work is held in numerous institutional and private collections both in Australia and abroad; most recently her large-scale installation While the Mountains had Feet [2020 — 2022] was acquired in whole by the National Gallery of Victoria.Katrin regularly teaches workshops in photographic practice and thinking, working closely with many institutions and festivals locally and across the Asia-Pacific region such as Angkor Photo Festival (Siem Reap Cambodia), Photo Kathmandu (Kathmandu, Nepal), The Lighthouse (Calcutta, West Bengal), Myanmar Deitta (Yangon, Myanmar), Australian Centre for Photography, Perth Centre for Photography, Centre for Contemporary Photography, Museum of Australian Photography,  Palmtree Workshops (Santorini Greece, forthcoming),  and others.Katrin lives and works in Naarm (Melbourne) on unceded Boon Wurrung Woi Wurrung Country. In episode 253, Katrin discusses, among other things:Ankor Photo Festival in CambodiaWorking on her practice dailyComing out of “the most difficult year of her life”Why she chose to shoot Polaroids during that timeResponding to the suicide of her cousin's husbandHow the sudden death of her best friend put her on the path of photographyHow she took pictures with the camera she inherited from him which were all blankHaving a ‘web' of ‘projects'Her practice as a relational encounterHer new book Between The Skin and SeaHer engagement with environmental issuesYounger photographers being more inward lookingHer current engagement with the indigenous community of Riverdale Referenced:Photo KatmanduChobi MelaRMITNational Gallery of Victoria Website | Instagram “This is always the way that I work, I look at what the thing is that is at stake, and what am I trying to talk about?

Ian Macdonald (b. 1946) is an internationally acclaimed photographer born and raised in Middlesbrough, Yorkshire, UK. He studied Graphic Design and Printmaking at Teesside College of Art in 1968 and went on to study Painting and Photography at Sheffield School of Art, Photography and Graphic Design at Birmingham Polytechnic and Education at Lancaster University. He pursued photography alongside drawing – his first love - painting and printmaking.Since 1968, Ian has consistently photographed the people and places of Teesside, one of Europe's most heavily industrialised areas in the north east of England. His love of the region, the beauty of the landscape – great expanses of wildness nestling among industrial settings - and his solid admiration for the people working and living amongst this environment has resulted in a completely honest and passionate depiction of a place and its community.“The most successful of my photographs seem to be a product of an exploration into my environment and the people I live and work amongst and an excitement generated in me by what I confront. Sometimes by-product would seem a more appropriate term, because only rarely do images really come near to saying anything about the strength, humour, vitality, atmosphere, pathos and despair which seems to make up what goes on around us all. Always, I am spurred on by a tingling sensation at the possibility, this time, perhaps, the image may really say something”.Ian's work has been included in various publications, such as England Gone, Smith's Dock Shipbuilders, Images of the Tees, Eton and The Blast Furnace. His work has been exhibited internationally and is included in many private and public photography collections around the world. In 2024 Ian had a major retrospective entitled Fixing Time, covering the first twenty years of his work, displayed across two venues in the north east of England - Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens and Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art.Ian is currently working on a series of forthcoming books with GOST Books. In episode 252, Ian discusses, among other things: His recent dual exhibitions, Fixing Time, in the North East of EnglandHow his fascination for drawing took him to art collegeHis discomfort with his work being put in the documentary pigeonholeFinding it hard to approach your subjectsA brief description of the area he grew up and photographed inHis transition from drawing to photographyGreatham Creek and the portrait (above) that made him excitedHis early memories of his grandfather and father and wanting to celebrate and document their historyHis year spent as artist in residence at Eton CollegeHis reasons for choosing to teach in a school and not at art college Referenced:Len TabnerCesare PaveseBruce DavidsonBill BrandtVic Allen, Dean Clough GalleryGraham SmithMartin ParrChris KillipTom WoodMax BeckmanGoyaTitianDelacroixWebsite | Short film about Ian by Jamie Macdonald“When I first went to Greatham Creek, there was no history anywhere about it. I couldn't find anything written down. So I wrote a lot down. I talked to people. I went into pretty deep research into archives in the local library and stuff like that. And I guess this was part of the drive for [photographing] both the shipyard and the furnace. Because maybe I did have an inkling, because there was nothing about the creek - where's the stuff about the furnace?… about the men who worked there, like my dad and granddad? Where is their history? And I wanted to celebrate their history. I wanted to celebrate what they were. I wanted a record, a document, a memory of them. And that's what drove me to do it.” Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.

Ed Sykes is a photographer and visual artist based in London.Ed's practice focuses on landscape and changes to the environment as a result of natural processes and human activity. This approach is in conjunction with a re-working of photographic materials and a disruption of traditional photographic production. The processes and effects of climate change are often replicated during the image making process itself. The series 1000 Degrees used a blow torch to melt photographic negatives at a heat similar to the furnaces that propelled the Industrial Revolution. The work Hanging By A Thread pushed this same notion to the picture frames which were sourced secondhand and then the wooden surrounds were charred in a similar way to the subject matter of wildfires. Other approaches have involved sanding and abrasion echoing the effects of coastal erosion and also the use of soluble paper, the dissolution of an image in water, mimicking flood damage.Ed was the recipient of an Arts Council grant for the project Eco Matters and Sustainable Processes. This saw Ed travel along Britain's east coast and to some of Europe's fastest eroding coastlines, embedding a new creative approach to climate change, environment and the anthropocene. In 2021 he was nominated for Prix Pictet Award with1000 Degrees, a response to the historical, industrial exploitation of natural resources in UK. In episode 247, Ed discusses, among other things:Early days on The IndependentGoing to Somalia for ‘Operation Restore Hope' and being disillusioned by itMoving towards portraiture for magazines……and fashionHaving to take a day job and the feelings that brings upResetting, getting a 4x5 and doing it ‘without compromise'.Environmental themes and concernsDarkroom practiceHis Arts Council grant to pursue the project Eco Matters and Sustainable ProcessesUsing plant-based developer and Agfa Record Rapid paper for the project RockAccepting and embracing mistakes as part of the creative process Referenced:Brian HarrisKalpesh LathigraJames NachtwheyPaul LoweChris Steele PerkinsDelilah SykesRodrigo Arantia Website | Instagram “As a photographer, you want something that drives you on.

Natural Intelligence Guest Cory Edmund Endrulat, Teacher of Natural Law, Integrative Health Coach and Author Humans invent synthetic technologies with the intention of solving problems and making life easier, yet there are many instances where these so-called advances have ended up creating more problems and complicating life. Pesticides, plastic packaging and processed foods are all prime examples of inventions that have fostered tremendous environmental and health challenges. Do these matters indicate that humans have lost touch with their natural intelligence - that innate ability to coexist in natural balance with all other life forms on earth? Guest Cory Endrulat, author of Natural Intelligence: The Technology of Peace joins us to talk about the natural intelligence of permaculture and voluntaryism as solutions to many of our modern world problems. Permaculture is a form of agriculture that mimics a natural ecosystem, in which each species contributes to the natural process of growing food - channeling rainwater, fixing nitrogen into the soil, helping the soil retain water, creating or decomposing compost and so on. Nature nourishes itself. Voluntaryism is the doctrine that relations among people are cooperative, accomplished with mutual consent. Voluntaryists are advocates of nonpolitical, non-violent strategies to achieve a free and smoothly functioning society. Cory helps us explore the natural and philosophical parallels between permaculture and voluntarism. He is a Teacher of Natural Law, an Integrative Health Coach, a practitioner of permaculture and a video content creator. His content covers health, education, freedom, morality, philosophy and taking action, and this work connects his mission and his message: "Nature Is The Answer," to inform us of a movement created for anyone to use in sharing timeless and universal knowledge.

That was maybe my luck. Success was something I had difficulty dealing with. People are complimenting you on your work at the beginning and I'm just accepting that but it was difficult. And it helped me because I never arrived. I was on my way and the doubts were still there. If you think you know how to do it, it's time to leave. Sometimes if I think ‘ok, I can do that pretty well, Of course other people can do it better, but it's time to change, to have another approach…' So I had that in the early beginning, that feeling that I have to change. I love to begin something new.” Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.

She is currently an elementary school teacher. She lives on farmin East Iceland. She is recognised for her self portraits that span 30 years.

This decision has not been without tests. Together we have made a life that I feel we are only beginning. Everyday, I search for corners of quiet. When there, I stop and listen for a long time. These places exist around our farm, with friends, and the students I teach. These places are my everyday. They are my everything.”Agnieszka has been the recipient of a number of grants, including a Fulbright Scholars Fellowship to Poland and an American Scandinavian Fellowship to Iceland. She was awarded the Hjálmar R. Bárðarson Photography Grant by the National Museum of Iceland. Her series was awarded the Director's Choice by the Center awards in 2017 and she has been in the Top 50 of Critical Mass on three occasions. Her work has been exhibited in the National Museum of Iceland and the Reykjavik Museum of Photography. She is represented exclusively by Vision Neil Folberg Gallery in Jerusalem.Earlier this year, Agnieszka released her debut photobook, För, published by Trespasser Books and already sold out.Her collaboration with Icelandic poet Ingunn Snædal, entitled RASK, is currently being exhibited at the Reykjavik Museum of Photography until Decembet 2024.In episode 241, Agnieszka discusses, among other things:Early years travelling to Communist PolandWanting to assimilate into the USA as an immigrantEarly education in photography at Mass.

I just didn't know how. And I think the only way you grow is not by thinking about it but by doing it and making the mistakes. And I made a lot of mistakes. And thank God I did because in doing the mistakes I started to get more to having the self-portraits be more real. And that's really hard to do. Especially I think as me having done it for so long, and also getting older in front of a camera, as a woman, it's hard.” VOTE HERE FOR ALETHEIA CASEY TO HAVE A SOLO SHOW AT PARIS PHOTO!!Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.

Robbie Lawrence is a London based Scottish photographer and director represented by Webber Represents. Robbie is acutely attentive to the way images tell a story. Working with a painterly softness and sensitivity to his subjects, he deals in detail and nuance. From portraiture, travel and documentary to editorial work, he places the human experience front and centre to create thoughtful, abstract images, with an emphasis on narrative.Recent books include Blackwater River and A Voice Above The Linn published by Stanley/Barker. Stills gallery in Edinburgh hosted the first UK institutional solo exhibition by Robbie in 2022, bringing together a snapshot of life post-Brexit across Scotland's cities, rural locations and coastal towns.Robbie's new book, Long Walk Home, was just released (September 2024) by Stanley/Barker.Clients Include: UN, Apple, Nike, Hermes, Gucci, The New Yorker, Du Monde, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, I-D and many others. In episode 240, Robbie discusses, among other things:His recent assignment at The OlympicsHis internship in Paris and his time in New YorkHis relationship to painting and writingBuilding a career to encompass commercial and personal workHow working commercially can be a ‘relief'.His ‘macrojournalistic approach'His first book project, Blackwater RiverHis second book, A Voice Above The LinnCollaboration with poet John BurnsideHis new book about the Highland Games, Long Walk Home.Why he threw away three years worth of work and began againWorking digitally with ‘manual' lensesThe difference between myth and historyA reading from John Burnside's essay in the bookReferenced:The Tokyo Olympiad, Kon IchikawaThe French, William KleinJohn BurnsideRenton's rant on why it's ‘shite being Scottish' from the movie Trainspotting Website | Instagram“I like the variety […] I like being on set. You become more like a director. As a photographer you're almost the emotional heartbeat of a set. It's interesting because at school and university I really found exams hellish from an expectation point of view. Like, I would put myself under a lot of pressure. And I would describe some of those more pressurised commercial jobs almost like a school exam where you expected to produce something of quality under a very tight time constraint. As a physical experience it can feel similar, and I suppose maybe it's just experience that I can now recall moments where I've overcome those kind of stresses. So I like the shift.” VOTE HERE FOR ALETHEIA CASEY TO HAVE A SOLO SHOW AT PARIS PHOTO!!Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.

Using photography, testimony and archive, Diana Matar's in-depth bodies of work investigate themes of history, memory and state sponsored violence. Grounded in heavy research and often spending years on a project, Diana attempts to capture the invisible traces of human history and produces installations and books that query what role aesthetics might playin the depiction of power. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Diana has received the Deutsche Bank Pyramid Award for Fine Art; the International Fund for Documentary Photography; a Ford Foundation Grant for artists making work on history and memory; and twice been awarded an Arts Council of England Individual Artist Grant. Her work is held in public and private collections and has been exhibited in numerous institutions including Tate Modern, London; The National Museum of Singapore; Museum Folkswang, Essen, Germany; The Institut du Monde Arabe, Paris; The Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; and Musee de la Photographie a Charleroi. Her monograph Evidencewas published in 2014 by Schilt Publishing Amsterdam to critical acclaim and chosen by New York Times Photography critic Teju Cole as one of two best photography books of the year. In 2019 Matar was appointed Distinguished Artist at Barnard College Columbia University, New York. In April 2024 Diana's most recent book, My America, was published by GOST Books.  In episode 238, Diana discusses, among other things:Early experiences in Panama and Latin America.How an errand to buy a lightbulb changed everything.A brush with Manuel Noriega.How she met her Libyan husband, the writer Hisham Matar.Why she found doing her M.A. ‘really, really challenging'.Her first book project, Evidence.The inclusion of her own writing in the book.Her latest book, My America.Some of the key factors around the issue of police shootings.The complexities of the subject.How she has “intermalised a European sense of America.”Why she shot the project on her iPhone and the rules she imposed on herself.Whether photographs can ‘bear the burden of history.'What she is currently working on.Her reaction to the bonus questions. Website | Instagram“I think I internalised a European sense of America in several different ways. When I was out on the road a lot of things seemed exotic to me, things that I'd grown up with and were just part of being: the long distances; these buildings that just pop up in the middle of nowhere; the emptiness; the scale… the kind of watching of movies of what is the American west. The internalisation I think has something to do with scale. I live in London - the small streets, you're around people all the time, and then being in this openness, which i miss and i love, but I did find it unnerving and it effected how I made the work actually.” Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.

How to Design and Build Yourself a Food Forest Guest Graham Towerton, Design Team Leader, Food Forest Abundance A well-designed permaculture food forest incorporates multiple layers of edible plants, including fruit and nut trees, shrubs, herbs, vines, rhizomes, mushrooms, and perennial vegetables. This episode focuses on the food forest design, planning and installation process. Food forest designs are fully customized to each client's climate, planting zone, topography and space, as well as to the client's functionality, culinary and aesthetic desires. With 34 years experience as a chemical engineer and over 40 years of gardening and small farm experience, in Australia and the US, Graham Towerton recently retired to become a full-time permaculture designer and installer. For Towerton, a full-time permaculture consultancy was a logical second career; he is practical, knowledgeable and passionate about food forest gardening. He obtained his certification as a Permaculture Design Consultant from Geoff Lawton's Discover Permaculture school in October, 2021, and then he joined Food Forest Abundance as a designer in January, 2022.

Episode 108: Attracting and Retaining Midcareer WomenWhy are leadership-track women in architecture leaving their firms?Throughout 100+ episodes of Practice Disrupted, we've touched on the missing middle, burnt-out architects, and the challenges in navigating career growth in practice. We wanted to dedicate an entire episode to exploring and understanding why midcareer and even senior-level women are considering leaving their firms. We'll look also discuss the core issues driving retention in the field.We invited career and executive coach Maya Sharfi on the show to discuss her new whitepaper titled, 'Attracting and Retaining Leadership-Track Women in Architecture & Planning.' Maya has been working extensively with women across practice on training and career development. In this episode, she shares her insight and provides recommendations.Guest:Maya Sharfi is a career and executive coach and the founder of Build Yourself. She helps women in design, tech, and innovation advance their careers on their own terms and helps companies grow and promote their rising women leaders through coaching, training, and consulting.Companies Maya has worked with have seen a 3x increase in the rate of women promoted, and 18% of women are more likely to recommend their companies to other women. They've seen more women owning and leading initiatives and setting boundaries that make projects more effective and grow junior staff. Maya's individual clients achieve results like moving into senior director roles, launching new, innovative programs, and achieving $25,000 raises.Maya has trained national industry groups, like Women in Innovation and the American Institute of Architects, and works with leadership and staff at global design and innovation companies such as Stantec, Gensler, and HOK, and she helps women become principals and partners at their firms.

In conversation with Sharon G. Flake Camonghne Felix is the author of Build Yourself a Boat, ''an exquisite and thoughtful'' (Bustle) poetry collection that was longlisted for the National Book Award in poetry and shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Award, among other honors. A contributing writer at The Cut, her poetry has appeared in or is forthcoming in numerous places, including The New Yorker, Poetry Magazine, and Harvard Review. In Dyscalculia, Felix uses her childhood learning disorder that caused difficulties with math to explore the trauma of a monumental breakup, past troubles, and the concepts of self-love and acceptance. Acclaimed as a modern classic for middle and high school students, Sharon G. Flake's 1998 debut novel The Skin I'm In depicts the travails of a seventh grader dealing with self-esteem issues connected with race, economics, and academic success. It has been translated into several languages and has sold more than one million copies worldwide. Flake is also the author of a dozen other books of fiction, short stories, and poems, including Money Hungry, You Don't Even Know Me, and The Life I'm In, a companion piece to The Skin I'm In published in 2021. Her many honors include two Coretta Scott King Awards, the John Steptoe Award for New Talent, and the YWCA Racial Justice Award. (recorded 3/1/2023)

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. So, if you like what you read, please consider a paid subscription.]The Junk Drawer is back! This is a feature of my blog I intended to do regularly when I began it last year, and things just got terribly busy with the midterms. So, it's become one of my goals this year to reignite the feature.It's about odds and ends: random musings, things I'm reading and watching, stuff I found interesting, and updates on my work.Enjoy!The Ballad of the Nosey BalloonThe surveillance balloon fiasco over the past week has been embarrassing for pretty much everyone involved. Embarrassing for China in their clumsy espionage and laughable response. Embarrassing for the U.S. government in the revelation that, apparently, several of these were tracked during the Trump Administration, and Trump declined to do anything about them. Embarrassing for political media's inability to clarify the situation for Americans, instead leaning into a framing of partisan jousting.Per usual, on matters of national security, the smartest voices seem to be the peripheral of cable news. I found this Twitter thread by NatSec expert William Kim particularly insightful.If nothing else, with the successful shoot-down of the balloon by an air-to-air missile from an F-22 Raptor (the first such recorded kill by the fighter jet model), notch this as a victory in President Biden's war on inflation. Another Award Show You Probably Don't Care About But Here's Why You ShouldThe 65th Annual Grammy Awards are being broadcast this evening. Most of you probably don't care about it. I will admit that I love awards shows; from the fashion to the high drama, I find them delicious.But this year's Grammys have a particularly sharp significance. Beyoncé leads with nine nominations for her album Renaissance, an instant cultural landmark that is widely considered her most complete record. It also lifted her to 88 career nominations, tying her with husband Jay-Z for the most Grammy nominations by an artist ever. And with 28 Grammy wins under her belt already, she's the most awarded singer in the Academy's history.Here's the problem: Beyoncé rarely wins the big general awards (Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year). She's been previously nominated six times for Record of the Year, winning none; five times for Song of the Year, winning once; and most glaringly, three times for Album of the Year as a lead artist and once as a featured artist, winning none. She wasn't even nominated for Best New Artist during her time with Destiny's Child or after her solo debut, which was a stunning critical and commercial success.The Grammys have always been suspect, and there's long been debate over how much critical favor is weighed against sales and certifications. What makes Beyoncé a point of considerable debate is that she's been consistently both: highly praised for her artistry and highly lucrative as an entertainer. Her Album of the Year losses have occurred in years in which she found near-universal favor among reviewers and near-universal adulation among listeners. So, which is it? That's not to say the artists to whom she lost were undeserving, but it's become a highly suspect pattern in which Beyoncé releases a beloved album that's critically and commercially successful, only to lose to a white artist whose album would not be assessed similarly, at least to that degree.Tonight, if Beyoncé doesn't win at least one of the three major awards, there's gonna be a lot of understandable chatter about misogynoir among Academy voters.What I'm Reading“The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams” by Stacy Schiff — One of the most interesting biographies I've read in a while. Schiff has a hell of a bibliography, with classics like “Vera (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov)” (winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography) and “The Witches: Salem, 1692”, and her latest work on forgotten founding father Sam Adams is thoroughly fascinating. (https://bit.ly/SamAdamsBook)“Dyscalculia: A Love Story of Epic Miscalculation” by Camonghne Felix — I was lucky enough to score an advance copy of Felix' latest work, set for release this Valentine's Day. She won rave reviews for “Build Yourself a Boat” (2017), which was longlisted for the National Book Award, among other recognitions. She's one of those writers that makes me wanna write. (preorder here: https://bit.ly/PreorderDyscalculia)“Master of the Senate” by Robert A. Caro — This is the second time I've read Caro's third work in the LBJ biography quintet (the fifth part, we are told, will eventually be published when he's damn good and ready). If you want to understand how the Senate got to be so thoroughly complicated and counterproductive (to put it mildly), Caro's history of the chamber is, alone, worth reading this. It's a big one, I won't lie. You'll need to dedicate at least a few weeks to it. But the understanding you'll glean about American politics is indispensable. What I'm Watching“Fleishman Is in Trouble” (Hulu) — Adapted from the book of the same name by Taffy Brodesser-Akner (who also executive produces). It's a great miniseries. Lizzy Kaplan and Claire Danes give exceptional performances, and the writing is brilliant. It's a bit dark but in the best way.“The Last of Us” (HBO) — I'll be real with you: as much as I love Pedro Pascal, I wasn't especially motivated to start watching this. I've kinda had my fill with post-apocalyptic narratives. But then, the third episode, centered around guest actors Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett, was released last weekend to rave reviews, so I finally watched it. I'm glad I did. The love story between these two men is one of the finest episodes of television I've ever seen. Absolutely brilliant. “80 for Brady” (Paramount) — Oh god, I so wanted to hate this damn movie. Metro Weekly offered to pay me to review it, and when I realized it would give me a chance to trash Tom Brady, I gladly accepted their commission. And then, must to my surprise, I quite enjoyed it. Ugh, I hate it when that happens. To read my review, click here. What I'm WritingThe week before last, I published this essay on an interview Pope Francis did with the Associated Press, in which he called for homosexuality to be decriminalized. My take is this simple: it's very good news when a global religious figure takes an LGBTQ-affirming stance, especially right now, and it should be encouraged. Last week, I wrote a satirical article about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announcing a statewide ban on Pink Floyd. I honestly thought it was a bit over-the-top and wouldn't gain much attention. I was wrong. It went super viral. It's one of the most widely-read pieces I've written for my blog, mostly because a lot of folks readily believed that DeSantis would do something like this. In fact, it gained so much traction that Snopes published an article in response, confirming that its satire. And, of course, the aforementioned review of “80 for Brady,” which you should definitely read. Where I'm Gonna Be3/2/23: “Gabrielle Blair, In Conversation with Charlotte Clymer” at D.C.'s historic Sixth & I Synagogue — When my friend Gabrielle Blair asked me to join her for a one-on-one discussion on her bestselling book “Ejaculate Responsibly: A Whole New Way to Think About Abortion,” I thought I might be dreaming. For those who aren't in D.C., Sixth & I is considered one of the premiere venues for book events. This will be my first event on the stage instead of in the audience, and I am so damn excited to talk about Gabrielle's brilliant book. (Tickets here: https://bit.ly/GabrielleBlairEvent)3/9/23: 2nd Annual Democracy Solutions Summit — RepresentWomen is hosting its second annual virtual summit on how to safeguard democracy. On its final day, I'll be moderating a fantastic panel on the Fair Representation Act. It's free! (Register: https://bit.ly/DemocracySolutionsSummit)4/28/23: 17th Annual Freedom Rising Conference — On the last day of this much beloved annual gathering organized by NYC's iconic Middle Church, I'll be participating in the segment “How Christian Fascism Made a Home Within Our Government” with Melissa Harris-Perry and Robert P. Jones. I have so much respect and admiration for Middle Church, particularly Dr. Rev. Jacqui Lewis. I'm looking forward to this. Join us!

Do you ever hear a shitty inner voice in your head that tells you that you aren't worthy of things, or that you can't accomplish something for one reason or another? That voice is called your Inner Critic. It's created by the voices you hear when you are in the formative years of your childhood. It could be the voice of your past, your mother, your father, an aunt, or a school bully. This voice can grow loud and paralyzing if you don't discover ways to silence. So, how do you arm yourself with ways to overcome this voice in your head - because not only is this voice a real asshole, it's a liar, liar pants on fire!  Welcome to Episode 25 where my special guest Mia Scharphie joins us to teach you how to silence your inner critic and move beyond the shitty narrative it plays in your head! Mia is a trained facilitator, the founder of the Build Yourself workshop- a programme that helps women build the dynamic, powerful and meaningful careers and businesses they want,​ and has run research efforts for the Harvard Business School. In this episode, we discuss why accountability and trust are key to building your career and how to find the “right” accountability partner for your business, why your inner critic does not serve you any functional purpose and how to mute that shitty voice. Your inner critic gives you a skewed perception of reality. Only you can acknowledge that this voice is not based in reality. If you write down the things that this voice says to you and then read them out loud, you will discover what complete and total bullshit it really is. Perhaps you should name your inner critic and then tell it to shut the fuck up repeatedly until it doesn't talk to you anymore. Tune in. We could help you do that! Drink of the Week: Rombauer Chardonnay I do not understand the ABC people - the anything but chardonnay people. I absolutely love it and this is one of my favorite Chardonnays.
