Wisława Szymborska

Amanda Palmer
Actress
I discovered the poetry of Wislawa Szymborska. I have yet to read a poem by this woman that I don’t like. It could have to do with how raw and emotional I’ve been these past few years.

Amanda Palmer
Actress
Bryony Kimmings. She creates these incredible theatre shows, turning her life experiences – fear, depression, cancer, you name it – into the most mind-blowing stage shows. If you ever get the opportunity to see any of her shows, go, blindly.

Michelle Wolf

Actress
Current favourite comedian? Michelle Wolf. America desperately needs people like her right now, to speak truth to power and be goddamn hilarious at the same time, because we are quickly losing our sense of humour.

David Bowie

Amanda Palmer
Actress
I met David Bowie for 45 seconds when Dresden Dolls were opening for Nine Inch Nails in New York. I melted to a puddle on the floor, not just because I had met him, but because he knew my band and liked us. I thought: “Kill me now before anything bad happens.”

The Quickening

A story of two births
Amanda Palmer
Actress
DAMN. this piece by Leslie Jamison is incredible. she weaves together so much dark (and light): pregnancy, birth, abortion, easting disorders.... needless to say, it's not an easy read. but it's amazing.

Counter Service Tipping: Who Gives?

Those customer-facing, touch-screen payment systems in restaurants are confounding customers in the U.S. and beyond.

great article in the @nytimes (easily googlable) about the new digital tipping culture ... i want to know what you all think of this. i am so glad someone researched and wrote this article, because it’s something i think about ALL THE TIME.

Perspective | She had a son at 47. Was that selfish — or great?

“With age comes a maturity, a centeredness, a sense of perspective and well-being. . . . At least in theory.”
Amanda Palmer

Wonderfully written article, shamefully written headline. all too common nowadays....even the @washingtonpost 's headline-writers are stooping to low-level clickbait level.

Miscarriages change our bodies as much as childbirth. Can we talk about that? | Jessica Zucker and Sara Gaynes Levy

Women who have miscarried have seen their bodies change exponentially, but with no baby to prove why. It can all feel so futile
Amanda Palmer
Actress
An excellent and needed article. these things just don’t get discussed and they must. as one who’s had abortions, a miscarriage and a live birth, every experience changes your body, and people generally don’t how to make space and healing for all that.

Cafe Pamplona, Cambridge

Amanda Palmer
Actress
Cafe Pamplona, Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. I still go to Boston on occasion to visit my old crew and my old apartment. Cafe Pamplona feeds my soul and I go out of my way to get there. You go down a set of six narrow stairs to a basement with a low ceiling, there is no music playing, almost no light, there are nine little marble tables, people from Harvard speaking in four different languages, there’s a killer old-world Spanish garlic soup, and the decor hasn’t changed since 1952.
