Predisposition

By Sam (predisposition)

Let's figure out how to live without drinking! Also, neurodiversity and understanding the social arena while sober.

I adore Predisposition's writing, and am always thrilled to see a new post. The honesty, humour and humility here is something very special, and I am often inspired to dig deeper in my own writing through reading these posts.

Immortal for a Moment by Natasha Badhwar

Vulnerability and Strength, Love and Boundaries

I love reading Natasha's newsletter, because she writes so eloquently and honestly about family life, with both its gifts and challenges. I learn a lot about relationships, and get the chance to reflect on my own connections through her generous sharing of personal stories.

Power and Pop Culture

By Eliz Mizon

Bitesize analysis of the power dynamics of the media industry.

Power and Pop Culture is intelligent, funny and educational. Eliz's voice is one of the wittiest and most informed online, and I love to read whatever she has to say.

Tabled

By Julia Watson

Food facts (sometimes indigestible) and food history, with travel tales about unexpected ingredients (Ant Soup, anyone?) and do-able recipes.

Witty and inspiring, I love reading Julia's entertaining and wide-ranging essays about food. The recipes are fab, too.
