Hosted by Claire MustersThis month I’m reading… Unmaking Mary: Shattering the myth of perfect motherhood By Chine McDonald (978-1399814638, Hodder & Stoughton) This is an unusual book: the description from Chine’s publisher indicates it is part-memoir, part social and theological commentary, focusing on how motherhood has been shaped, negatively (but also positively), by cultural and theological understandings of what it means to be a woman.

As I write this, I am watching the smoke billow up from Altadena, a mile away. Three friends have already told me they lost their homes.

Photographed by Ryan Williams. Manifestation is all over my For You page, where dewy-skinned soothsayers promise to help me materialize my dreams. I’ve also noticed manifestation buzzwords like “abundance” and “higher self” seeping into the language of close friends. It’s difficult to pinpoint when these concepts took hold exactly — I’d put it somewhere between COVID and Trump 2.0 — but as our world slides further into chaos, it’s not hard to understand why millions are turning to magical thinking.
