Medieval gardens
I decided to take advantage of a spell of balmy weather to visit the Cloisters in uptown Manhattan. This museum of medieval art features several rooms that recreate period chapels and cloisters, embedding authentic architectural fragments in a neo-medieval building.
The Unicorn Tapestries are here, but I'm especially partial to the gardens, which, on the right day, can make you feel as if you've b

"This book, tellingly called “Females: A Concern” (if you just saw the title, you’d think it was a screed by some psychotic woman-hating man, wouldn’t you?) begins by proposing a new definition of “female”. Rather than letting the word stand to define"

Obsessive, Intrusive, Magical Thinking:
"I wrote a longform review here . Marianne Eloise is everything that's wrong with contemporary mental health culture: self-diagnosing and doctor-shopping, endlessly proud of conditions that have ruined countless lives, obsessed with the supposed roman"

“Buying a book is not about obtaining a possession, but about securing a portal.”
― The Magician's Book: A Skeptic's Adventures in Narnia
― The Magician's Book: A Skeptic's Adventures in Narnia
“A long time ago, I opened a book, and this is what I found inside: a whole new world. It isn't the world I live in, although sometimes it looks a lot like it. Sometimes, though, it feels closest to my world when it doesn't look like it at all. That world is enormous, yet it all fits inside an everyday object. I don't have to keep everything I find there, but what I choose to take with me is more precious than anything I own, and there is always more where that came from. The world I found was inside a book, and then that world turned out to be made of even more books, each of which led to yet another world. It goes on forever and ever. At nine I thought I must get to Narnia or die. It would be a long time before I understood that I was already there.”

“Do the children who prefer books set in the real, ordinary, workaday world ever read as obsessively as those who would much rather be transported into other worlds entirely?”
