Modest Operations | Newsletter Volume 11

Pretty light week this week reading-wise, which I'm going to arbitrarily blame on the LA rain. 

This Week's Links A list of things I've been reading & thinking about.* "The scandals that loom so large on Twitter don’t necessarily interest consumers; instead, the tempest of these controversies remains confined to a handful of internet teapots where a few angry voices can seem thunderously loud." - The Toxic Drama on YA Twitter (Kat Rosenfield for Vulture) * "When he first arrived at the company, Christian didn’t have much to do, so he spent part of his days reading about sports. He hid it by cutting and pasting articles from the ESPN website into empty emails so that, from afar, it looked like he was absorbed in work-related correspondence." - (John Carreyrou for Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup) * "Part of what makes Heather and her writing so compelling is an ability to brighten the space between striving for who we want to be, and appreciating how we currently live, messiness and all." - Madeleine Dore for Extraordinary Measures)
