Thanks for the mention of my "All Fours" piece! Rabbit, Run isn't a book I love (the protagonist really is awful) but it felt illuminating in this context.
"Does Love demand intellectual companionship from us?" I think so too.
I've always reflected on how intellectual compatibility is a vital criterion for love and friendship. I loved the way you put it, the way you craft your words generally. Thank you for sharing.
This felt like sitting in on the smartest, softest salon. The line “we co-create personal artifacts” gave me chills. Thank you for reminding me that thinking together is its own kind of intimacy.
i know this is mostly a one way conversation but know that when i read your newsletter i always feel encouraged and inspired and like my brain is reshaping to adjust to a new idea <3
Really enjoyed this. Personally, I feel that my best writing comes from good discussions. Intellect can truly be so symbiotic. Great piece.
thank you Rose! The word symbiotic is really fitting - as we all have different internal ecologies. pretty magical when they meet

I love your book reviews - of course!

Happy New Year, soon.
Thank you so much! It's funny but sometimes it is so often neglected for other traits
