  “You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me” What happens when we view Taylor Swift's music through the lens of female artists? In this week's Show & Tell episode, we explore the work of three iconic women in art—Mary Cassatt, Remedios Varo, and Hildegard von Bingen—and connect their paintings to Taylor Swift's songs. From the intimacy of motherhood to the surreal exhaustion of creating something greater than yourself, to the struggle of questioning authority, we discuss how these themes appear in both art and Taylor's songwriting.

Her new novel, Tom Lake, is about the lives parents lead before their children are born, the choices we make that inform who we become, and what it means to be happy even when the world is falling apart. Patchett lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where she is co-owner of Parnassus Books, a popular independent bookstore.On September 8, 2023, Ann Patchett came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to be interviewed on stage by writer and critic Steven Winn.  This program was originally broadcast on September 17, 2023.

Ann Patchett is a perennial favorite at Talking Volumes. So it's no surprise that she sold out the Fitz for her conversation with host Kerri Miller on Sept. 28. What ensued was a raucous two hours of honest conversation. Just a few of the topics they covered: Ann's “shiny new attitude” about book tours, how to be a feminist while still making dinner every night, why Ann keeps a drawer stocked with $20s in her desk and — last but certainly not least — Ann's new novel, “Tom Lake.” Don't miss this lively exchange, which includes music by singer-songwriter Sarah Morris and closes with a special guest appearance by the author to whom Ann dedicated “Tom Lake” — Minnesotan Kate DiCamillo. Video: Talking Volumes with Ann PatchettGuests:Ann Patchett is the author of many beloved books, including “Commonwealth,” “The Dutch House,” “Bel Canto” and “Truth and Beauty.” Her latest novel is “Tom Lake.” She also owns Parnassus Books, an independent bookstore in Nashville, and she adores her husband, Karl — even if he doesn't make dinner.Kate DiCamillo is also an author of many beloved books, including “Because of Winn-Dixie,” “Flora and Ulysses,” “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” and the forthcoming, “The Puppets of Spelhorst.” She is a staunch friend of Ann Patchett, which is why “Tom Lake” is dedicated to her and how she ended up on stage with Ann at Talking Volumes.

Today we are talking about Inclusive Hiring Practices, Disability Employment Awareness Month, and tips to improve your hiring practices with our guest Donna Bungard. We'll also cover Organigrams as our module of the week. For show notes visit: www.talkingDrupal.com/418 Topics When is National Disability Awareness Month What is the definition of Inclusive in this context Why are inclusive hiring practices important Have organizations been doing well with this What is disclosure and how can it impact people What can organizations do to be more inclusive What tools can be used to improve hiring practices Whose responsibility is it to address issues Any closing thoughts Resources National Disability Employment Awareness Month Snow shovel cartoon Curb-cut effect Race after technology Center for accessible technology Apple assistive tech Guests Donna Bungard - @dbungard Hosts Nic Laflin - nLighteneddevelopment.com nicxvan John Picozzi - epam.com johnpicozzi Jen Lampton - jenlampton.com - jenlampton MOTW Correspondent Martin Anderson-Clutz - @mandclu Organigrams Brief description: Have you ever needed a way to define and display an org chart on your Drupal website? There's a module for that. Brief history How old: created in Apr 2016 by PatrickScheffer Versions available: 7.x-1.3, 8.x-1.3, and 8.x-2.3 versions, the last two of which can be used with Drupal 8, 9, and 10 Maintainership Maintenance fixes only Number of open issues: 2 issues, neither are bugs Usage stats: 377 sites Module features and usage The module works by extending core's taxonomy hierarchy management You can organize who reports to who with a simple drag-and-drop, the same as any taxonomy hierarchy. For anyone who hasn't used those, it would be basically the same as managing a menu structure Once created, an organigram can be viewed as a dedicated page, a block, and a token The 2.x branch uses Flexbox to achieve a CSS-only presentation that removes the need for any Javascript Appears to have been built to serve the needs of the Dutch House of Representatives I haven't tested it, but I suspect that for a site with a very large organigram they need to build, tools like Client Side Hierarchical Select, built to make managing large taxonomies easier, are likely to work with Organigrams too

Jason and Brett talk to R. Eric Thomas (Congratulations, the Best is Over!) about Ann Patchett, The Dutch House by Ann Patchett, Parnassus Books owned by Ann Patchett, and some other things entirely unrelated to Ann Patchett such as the sequel to the best pickleball movie, what Charles Dickens might've talked about over brunch, and so much more.

Laura Freeman, chief art critic at The Times and author of Ways of Life: Jim Ede and the Kettle's Yard Artists, and Kettle's Yard Director Andrew Nairne take us back to Cambridge in this follow-up to Episode 30 of the Foxed pod. Jim Ede was a man for whom art, books, beauty, friendship and creativity were essential facets of a happy and fulfilled life and, in her acclaimed group biography of Jim and his artists, Laura casts new light on the men and women who gently shaped a new way of making, seeing and living with art for the twentieth century. Laura and Andrew join Slightly Foxed Editors Gail and Hazel at the kitchen table to draw us deeper into Jim and his wife Helen's way of life at Kettle's Yard: a domestic home-cum-gallery where pausing to sit is encouraged and artworks, furniture, ceramics, books and found objects from the natural world live side by side in delicious harmony. We follow Laura upstairs to Helen's sitting-room to meet Constanin Brâncuşi's cement-cast head of the boy Prometheus, we pause in the light-filled Dancer Room to take in Henri Gaudier-Brzeska's bronze ballerina and we pass Barbara Hepworth's strokable slate sculpture Three Personages on the landing before leafing through the bookshelves to discover hand-bound early editions of Virginia Woolf's Orlando and works by Henry James. We hear how Jim believed that art was for everyone and wasn't just for looking at but also for touching, hearing and engaging with: a belief so central to his ethos that he would lend pieces to Cambridge University students to place in their own living spaces.   Books mentioned We may be able to get hold of second-hand copies of the out-of-print titles listed below.

This book has been called a modern fairy tale, but don't get it twisted! Firmly planted in reality, this story of a brother and sister orphaned and left behind with their evil step mother was moving and thought provoking.

#2: First, Amanda & Julia introduce themselves and answer some rapid-fire questions. Then, Jenica writes in because she's feeling anxious and lethargic, and the girls give her advice on how to get out of a rut and recover from burnout. Also this week, Julio wants to know whether he should stand by his friends even when they get drunk & belligerent.Finally, the Recs of the Week are Ole Henriksen's vitamin c serum and the audiobook The Dutch House, narrated by Tom Hanks.*Our recommendations are based on things we use and love.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.
