Greenland Has The World’s Highest Suicide Rate, And Teenage Boys Are Especially Vulnerable : Goats and Soda : NPR
“By 1985, suicide was killing more people than cancer. That year, at least 50 people killed themselves in Greenland. The total population was only 53,000. In the U.S., it would be as if in one year, the entire population of say, Lincoln, Neb. — more than 250,000 people — killed themselves. And no one acknowledged it; it didn’t make the papers.
...
When a culture is largely erased over less than a generation, as it was in Greenland, a lot of young people feel cut off from the older generations, but not really part of the new one. It's especially difficult for young men, whose fathers and grandfathers were hunters, and who struggle to understand what it means to be an urban Inuit man. Without strong families and communities to help them cope, some of them are so overwhelmed and lost, they take their own lives.”

Innovation Culture Bulletin: Taking time
In our very first Innovation Culture Bulletin we explored the untapped creativity dormant in half-consciousness. Drowsiness, science suggests, loosens the grip of rationality, giving way to free association, which in turn enables us to see problems from a new perspective. We then revisited the idea in Back To Our Roots, and looked at how spending time in nature, disconnected from tech, can restore our mental alertness, and further strengthen our creativity and problem solving. Both bulletins show that “down time” is a serious factor in improving productivity. READ MORE…

Vintage photos from @rollingstone's promotion of Star Wars, 1983 "Return of the Jedi costume designer Aggie Guerard Rodgers told me the bikini was a deliberate throwback to Dejah Thoris, the eponymous heroine of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Princess of Mars, as envisioned by artist Frank Frazetta in the 1960s; it has roots in science fiction history and Art Deco design."

Having worked with Christies for a few years on The Art People campaign, it is really lovely to see these James Mollison images shot for the Christies magazine, designed by B.A.M. These images embrace the concept behind the Art People, to celebrate the collector and the objects they collect. While I would have loved to see the collector and collection together in one image, with the collector immersed in their individual and unique worlds, this is very lovely and considered work.

"The challenge of 2016 and beyond is to make an honest stab at intimacy in whatever form it might come, to treat each other more gently and to prioritize what makes us feel complete rather than what makes us sound cool." - Charlotte Shane // @charoshane // on that post-swipe life Source: https://medium.com/matter/swipe-right-on-monogamy-189b55568c0c#.ketdm3616

2016 To Dos, from writer Charlotte Shane
Things I Read
What I want out of writing, increasingly, is nothing short of unforgettable precision and unique illumination. I only want to read that which is indispensable, that which I am compelled to underline and notate and return to and keep piled on the nightstand next to my heart. I think this is a symptom of getting older and realizing I have less time alive than I previously had. I want to be the person voracious enough and time-managed enough to finally consume that stack of books on the recession, the old literary magazines I keep in chronological order, the great novels I skirted while earning my lit degree.
But I am as I am, and when I moved early this year, I finally gave myself permission to jettison a massive amount of books: gifts given by and without request, the texts I’d bought because I hoped they’d make me more interesting or important, titles I read and didn’t care for—or even hated—but one day might want to reference. I’m 33 which is not old, but is still old enough to know that my days left are not long enough to justify reading anything less than the most vital.
How do you know what means the most to you, though, without reading things that mean less? I’m rambling this way because I want you to know that I know I’m unreasonable, absent-minded, fickle, and yet I take the act of recommendation very seriously. Here’s what my best attempt to help you find out if any of what mattered to me this year will matter to you.
The Writers:
Maggie Nelson — I don’t (yet?) have the personal relationship with The Argonauts that so many other women already have but Maggie Nelson is one of the most important writers in my life. I love her poetry, which few people talk about in their essays on her, dazzled as they understandably are by Bluets and The Art of Cruelty. But I’ve read everything of hers and I can tell you it is all worthwhile, highly worthwhile. The Red Parts is getting a re-release next year, so maybe her entire catalog will be be folded back into the larger discussion around her, part by part, until it all gets its due.
Anne Carson — I don’t have the words for her; she’s taken all the words by using them so sparingly and so perfectly that I’m afraid to mar the scene by attempting my own constructions. My devotion to her writing is directly responsible for my late realization that there is a book I want to write and feel like I could write. I need her work to help me do it.
Helene Cixous – TLDR was the first time, embarrassingly, I remember hearing of Cixous. Everyone knew about her and I didn’t, somehow? Well, it would not be the first time that had happened. Stigmata was the initial pick of a short-lived email book club I tried to arrange. Maybe we just never chose a second book because none could follow after it.
Vivian Gornick — The Odd Woman and the City is not nearly as good as Fierce Attachments or Approaching Eye Level but I think reading it all, everything she writes and has written, is wise.
Jenny Offill — Dept of Speculation is ruinous, perfect.
Rachel Cusk — I started with Aftermath and then burned through the rest. She’s one of the strongest writers I know of and it baffles me we don’t talk about her more.
Elena Ferrante — Obviously the Neapolitan novels are her masterpiece. But Days of Abandonment was unshakable. I would suggest that before any of the others, I think, if someone who hadn’t read her asked.
Leonard Cohen — I cannot do without The Book of Longing. His music is not important to me, but this book is.
Jenny Zhang — At some point, it started to (rightly) feel like The Year of Jenny Zhang. Because first there was this, and then this. I read Hags somewhere in between, then watched her read uncollected poems to a room full of people who were rapt, giddy, ready to laugh whenever she wanted us to. It’s JZ’s world, we just listen in it.
Sarah Nicole Prickett — She’s an intimidatingly excellent writer and her vocabulary makes me ashamed, in a good way. This interview with Maggie Nelson shows how fast and how thoroughly her mind moves. I think about her Enormous Eye journal not infrequently.
Kaitlin Phillips — Reading her sentences makes my brain attempt a specific type of acrobatic elegance. I don’t know that I always pull it off, but I like making the effort.
Haley Mlotek — Having known Haley first and foremost as a warm and encouraging editor, I was almost disoriented when I started reading her longer essays. Why hadn’t somebody told me about these sooner? I was angry I’d gone any length of time without having read them, and embarrassed she’d been ahead of me on so many topics I wanted to tackle: Valerie Solanis, sex. Not only that she’d done it, of course, but that she’d done it well.
Katherine Bernard — This essay is a tender masterpiece.
Christian Lorentzen — Thank god for his funny, justified, meanly honest book reviews. So many high profile books suck, and it should not be sacrilege to say so.
Alana Massey — Alana is my friend and she is so prolific that even I have trouble keeping up with everything she puts out in the world. In spite of there being this profusion of evidence of her intelligence, I’m still somehow always surprised by the unstinting exactness of her sentences. People talk about “Against Chill” so frequently because it is mercilessly direct and thorough, a lightning strike. Even her shorter piece have this quality, though. The woman is incapable of being unquotable.
Rahawa Haile — “A year and a half ago, I stood in a room designed to hasten death of the spirit.”
Rachel Syme — I think I read Rachel’s Vulture piece with my jaw hanging open. It was the most casually brilliant culture writing I recall having seen all year. I don’t know Rachel well so I won’t project on her, but I want to say that she makes me think of women I know who work very hard on what they create and then work very hard not to show you that hard work, because they won’t want it to distract from the final product.
Arabelle Sicardi — I shy away from beauty writing because beauty scares me, and I’d rather ignore it as much as possible than try to play by its rules. There is some lizard-brained part of me that actually fears clicking on a piece by Arabelle because I worry I’m going to be confronted with my failure to understand makeup, or care about it, or groom myself well or make myself look good enough to be worthy of others’ visual attention. But these fears are always unfounded. This writing is simply necessary, clear, urgent, and illuminating.
Melissa Gira Grant — I eagerly awaited for this essay on college rape for months. It was well worth it. I will try to stay patience as she works on her next book.
Britt Bennett — For two essays that need no introduction, at least certainly not by me. And for this, which I feel especially honored to have read. Maybe because some writing feels like an act of tremendous trust initiated on behalf of the writer to benefit the reader, and I’m not always sure I’ve earned it.
Emily Gould — This essay (from 2014) was a touchstone for me; I referenced it often and shared it with friends. I didn’t really have a right to do that, because a bunch of my friends have sold books and I haven’t. Why am I trying to talk to them about what selling a book it like? I don’t know. But I feel like this is writing that makes the world a better place because it’s still the most transparent and honest piece about one person’s relationship to money that I’ve ever found. I also read And the Heart Says Whatever for the first time this year and I liked it.
Me — This year was freelance practice for me. I wrote some articles that I’ll probably forget I’ve written in another twelve months, not because they’re wrong or bad or even lazy—I spent a lot of time on pieces that weren’t paying me much—but because they were conceived for reasons other than I usually conceive of what I write. I write for myself, normally; I write because I want to say something I haven’t seen said somewhere yet, or not seen said in the right way. This year I think I managed that with these two pieces in particular, and with the whole of NB, which is my old blog entries collected into a book and will be sold on my website and maybe in some NYC bookstores early next year. Is it ok to be proud like this? Oh well; I already am.

On the passing of photographer Christophe Agou: "The solace is the work that remains. Dark, joyous, deep work! Pictures that are at times almost claustrophobic in how populated they are with feelings. It is work that will age well. Photographs that will remind us of a time in New York, in France, and elsewhere, but most importantly, art that will make you feel. Savor it. Sip it slowly. This is not Beaujolais Nouveau. It’s the good stuff." Source: https://medium.com/vantage/in-memoriam-christophe-agou-3c445cfea6bc#.5x1mq659p
