“Is It Too Late To Start Over?” @npratc host @ailsachang talked to @annehelen for @CrookedMedia “Work Appropriate” crooked.com/podcast/is-it-…
I got so much out of this post by @annehelen. cutting through the noise of #QuietQuitting #QuietFiring #LoudHiring jargon open.substack.com/pub/annehelen/…
I had the pleasure of appearing on the Work Appropriate podcast and spending some time with @annehelen to talk about career reselience and chat through a few listener questions. Check it out ⬇️ work-appropriate.simplecast.com/episodes/what-…
I loved this very much
So many of the professional women I know with even a smidge of financial/career leeway are taking a professional pause for the next few months
"I think contributing, healing, and caring are ambitious. I’ve found there is so much for me to be ambitious about, way beyond the context of accomplishment." annehelen.substack.com/p/this-will-ch…
I know that it's hard to understand things when you haven't experienced them personally and yes it's truly shitty but: the West has been dealing with this, it's been horrible, we all need to take it seriously

i love @Rainesford's work (can't wait for her forthcoming book!) and really loved this episode of @annehelen's podcast where she talks w Rainesford about moving towards more generative definitions of ambition, including community and justice. open.spotify.com/episode/7piNuE…
This is actually only true if you fall in love with a dude like this, whose career aims will eclipse your own

Stoked to share that I was a guest on one of my favorite podcasts today—Work Appropriate with @annehelen!!! If you want to care less about your job, but aren’t exactly sure how, give it a listen 😊 link.chtbl.com/work_appropria…

cannot believe i finally get to say this but.... i'm WRITING A BOOK!!!!! about the history of fandom!!!!!!! for @wwnorton!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥰‼️💓🙌🤩❣️🔥🥲💞😳
@annehelen I am insanely jealous. I feel like we all need a break. The undergraduate students included.
@annehelen @katypearce That would be me, I am a consultant and my main project ended. I sold my house in Austin, bought a downsized cash house in a smaller city, and intend to not work until I find exactly the right thing. I'm 56 and I haven't had more than two weeks not working since 19.
@annehelen As a city highly reliant on walking and public transportation, I would say NYers are particularly attuned to the weather. Also, rats.
@annehelen That it must be somehow "easier" for us on the west coast to have wildfire smoke because it's our *own* forests on fire was certainly an interesting take
@annehelen No interrogation whatsoever about the carefully wrought structures that make women feel this way. I read this and my heart sank:
@annehelen Nothing depresses me more than the way these boomer women talk about their weight and themselves.
@annehelen This entire thing is making me cringe and wince and it’s so glaringly obvious that weight is t the actual issue she’s struggling with
@nataliapetrzela @annehelen 😱 well that’s insane! at a comedy show last night I gave one of my favorite comedians, @GaryGulman, a copy of the book, and someone else who had arrived early and saw me do so had just seen my book in @booksaremagicbk! wild.
At a random event last night at which I knew no one + a woman offhandedly brings up that she’s reading such a great book she heard about in an equally great newsletter Yes @sandy__fox she was talking abt JEWS OF SUMMER, as seen in @annehelen CULTURE STUDY! How cool you both are!
@annehelen The flapper in the toilet tank might need to be replaced. (If you have a canister system in the tank, then the rubber seal needs to be replaced). Quick test: put food dye in the tank. If it shows up in the bowl, then that’s the problem.
@annehelen Bridget Everett’s ability to be so present, vulnerable, and fragile in front of a camera is staggering. I held my breath watching those scenes.
if you've ever locked profound grief deeply into a part of your body and someone years later helped you unlock it in the most unexpected way... #SomebodySomewhere
The music teacher episode of SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE is maybe the most tender piece of television I've ever seen
@annehelen I love this show so much. I feel like it's extremely underrated
@annehelen As someone who just started up voice lessons again as an adult, it was overwhelming.
@annehelen Yes! That episode was every best thing about Bridgett Everett’s talent (except the dirty songs, which she’s got covered in the following episode).
@annehelen Yes! I kept thinking about what a wise and open person the music teacher is. I kinda melted watching it all.
