“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion." - bell hooks

So psyched to see new episodes of @YoungerTV! We love its grittily realistic portrayal of the publishing industry. (Just kidding, we love the clothes.)

We're talking Hemingway vs. Fitzgerald in this month's episode. Lots of masculinity issues and self-mythologizing, not to mention that famous anecdote about ... size anxiety. Listen now: https://t.co/okkQlzhyzq
