Dear Reader,

As promised, an early August newsletter. The next posts on the blog will appear in October.

A note for those who subscribe to this e-blast for the 'Weekly Picks' reading lists: these updates have been discontinued. I have decided to use the hiatus to make a shift in which reflections are shared on this personal, online space. You are welcome to unsubscribe at the link below.

At the top of the current feed, you will find a collection of highlights from the first eight months of In Difference's existence. If you are interested in more of these types of musings, stay subscribed and stay tuned.

My best,
Pratyush

Personal posts:

Me Gustas Tú - In Spanish and French, one of Manu Chao's best.

Facing WordPress Demons - "A blog-building experience from someone eternally confused by web design."

Cult Classics - "Cults and the accounts they provide are part of a larger narrative of our collective socialization. Human experience is guided by our failure or success to connect with others; humanity’s is a story of seeking connection. And there are many rabbit holes that humans can easily fit into."
