Now that people are off to bluer skies, a reminder that you can find me there as @mariephillips.bsky.social
This American Life has launched a subscription to make up for a huge fall in ad revenue. If you’re dithering, let me say they are GREAT to work with. Pay well and on time. Kind and supportive. As well as producing great shows. Your money will be well spent thisamericanlife.org/lifepar…

So far, #GodsBehavingBadly is pretty good. @mpphillips knows how to build a world & show (presage, really) character development from page 1: skillful economy of wordcraft.
Somehow it feels like a slow start but you look down & realize you accidentally got on a supersonic train.
I was “bad” this afternoon & bought some books to try to offset my Twitter poisoning.

51 votes • Final resultsJust finished The Wedding People by Alison Espach (out Aug 1). A fantastic modern romance, smart, funny and humane, with beautifully-rendered characters driving the simple but satisfying plot. An intelligent, uplifting, wholly enjoyable read. Thanks for the proof @francescamain
Oddly precise question, for a thing: have you, or anyone you know, ever had a break up or other life crisis after reading the book South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami? Please share widely!

For @mpphillips, moving in with her partner meant finding herself deeply connected to the woman who came before her. bit.ly/458lRLI

My partner @mpphillips wrote this wonderful piece for @ThisAmerLife about moving in with me and coming to terms with the memory (and belongings) of Colette. Give it a listen.
My favourite thing in this week's show is an essay @mpphillips wrote for us (produced by Bim Adewunmi). It's such a wonderful piece about the memory and essence of a person. Give it a listen.

Hildy was neutered today so @mpphillips is aiding the post-op recovery by letting her watch David Attenborough's Birds Of Paradise documentary.
I’m trying very hard not to post here, but this cannot remain unretweeted
I have codes to You Know Where. Hit me up if you want one! (That’s me with my lovely mother, by the way)

I've got two shows at the Amsterdam International Storytelling Festival this weekend: Lalaei, an adaptation of Ovid featuring music from Belgian guitar group Zwerm and Iranian singer Sarah Akbari; and my full-length solo debut, Il Faut Danser, the story of my Algerian grandmother
Info and tickets for Lalaei here: storytellingfestival.nl/lala… and for Il Faut Danser here: storytellingfestival.nl/mari… Both shows are in English. Please share with any Amsterdam-based friends that you may have! It's a great, friendly festival and I'd love to see you there.
