For The New York Times, I wrote about the movie “The Substance,” starring Demi Moore, and the disposability culture women in every industry are forced into—how the body horror genre of filmmaking highlights the horrors women’s bodies face and how we can fight back against them. Thank you to Adam Sternbergh for publishing this quite personal piece, and Aly Sarafa for being an extra set of eyeballs when mine felt like they were glazing over.

I wrote about leaning into the hard lesson of loss, steep election learning curves, and tilting toward the promise of a stronger coalition. Listening, listening Listening in the dark

Hey, you. Yes, YOU. Before you get strung out thinking about tonight’s debate, read this piece I just published on finding myself at the dinner table with Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi recently. She had much to remind us about not getting distracted, focusing on the fight ahead, and our earned joy.✨✨ Also: we’ve got some details about The Short and Sweet, a new monthly gathering over zoom for paid subscribers at the newsletter. This inaugural gathering in September will be a political decompression and discussion on how to turn election anxiety into action (with a little intentional journaling at the end to release some of those election fears.) I got you. Nancy’s got you. Let’s go win this thing. Ambertamblyn.Substack.Com

No more Let’s Go. Instead, Let’s Keep Going. Like we always have and always will. If you’re unsure where to go from here, may I suggest spending extra time with your community, spending some extra time with the exposed roots of endangered trees, and learning from the leadership of political organizers and change makers who have been doing this work day in and day out their entire lives, beyond one Presidential election cycle, however consequential. Click the link in my bio to read the essay (Art by Kai Martin.) Check out some nature. Check out Working Families Party @workingfamilies . See you all out there.

Repost from @newyorkermag 📖📖 The actress and writer @amberrosetamblyn shares how the novel “Paint It Black,” by Janet Fitch, changed the trajectory of her life and inspired her to adapt the book into a film. At the link in our bio, read her poem, “This Living.”
Yes I absolutely did turn Ayana Elizabeth Johnson’s new incredible book into a purse because I am extra like that. HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY to this brilliant woman and her equally brilliant book: What If We Get It Right, out today. “Our climate future is not yet written,” Ayana writes, “What if we act as if we love the future? Sometimes the bravest thing we can do while facing an existential crisis is imagine life on the other side.” I interviewed Ayana for our newsletter this month, so head on over to the link in my bio and watch the interview, order a copy of her powerful new book, and fill your cup with a little joy and inspiration today for what the future of our planet can still be.
