🔥 Top post I got halfway through Adam Greenfield’s new book “Lifehouse” before realizing @kissane blurbed it. She’s right—it’s good! On “taking care of ourselves in a world on fire.” I wrote a bit about it here: https://magazine.frontier.is/shelter-in-place/ ★ 2

Exhibited that year at Document, Chicago: https://documentspace.com/exhibition/anya-kielar/ ~115 issues after launching the new edition of Frontier Magazine, I’m ending my run. I’ll be focusing on Valise, which I cofounded, and on other editing, writing, and editorial-strategy projects.

I also interviewed five of its first-year grantees and told their stories, too. Case study TK, but for now, the stor… ★ 1 I have a thing for geology and deep time. I enjoyed this review of geologist Marcia Bjornerud’s new book, her first for a trade publisher, in The New Yorker this week: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/09/02/turning-to-stone-discover… Thought about this old video about artist John Baldessari, which I hadn’t watched in a few years. Narrated by Tom Waits in a funny, deadpan style and with rapid cuts, it totally holds up. Six minutes of pure entertainment: https://vimeo.co… The weekly newsletter I write about “big ideas in architecture” hit its 100th issue today. To celebrate, I jettisoned the ideas and just shared a bunch of beautiful #libraries: https://magazine.frontier.is/shelf-space/ ★ 1 More big news in my world: super-talented house producer Matt Karmil is releasing his first album since March 2020. Wasn’t sure there’d be another one, to be honest. The lead single is good; if you want more of an intro, try the 2018 album…
