WE HAVE BEEN waiting for plans to finally progress and have been staying at our hotel for so long now, the staff have been referring to us as “residents”. And all of this waiting has me thinking about the concept of time, especially since beginning the book Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli, an Italian physicist known for his work on loop quantum gravity theory and the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Anaximander.

WE HAVE RECEIVED a million notes and emails from you about the TIG newsletter, which has been on an unintentional hiatus due to technical difficulties for the past little while now. Far from forgetting about it when you no longer recieved it, you told us that you loved receiving article updates and missed it so and could we please fix it now?
WE HAVE BEEN spending much time in the English countryside, exploring all the utterly charming and quintessentially British villages along the way–ones with grand castle ruins and lively local pubs and ones with picturesque abbeys and lovely little stone cottages covered in ivy and surrounded by magnolias. We’re in the midst of sweeping changes and it’s all very exciting. Just a few more things need to fall in place before we know for certain and the waiting is the hardest part. Spring feels like the perfect time for grand changes.
Have been going to the same places for the past few days: coffee at Kitsune, strolling on the Collete alley, window shopping around the galleries. I find there is magic in Palais-Royal and I get so disconnected while being there.
IN THE MIDDLE of an actual hardcover book (after a long series already this year), but on a whim, decided to pick up the new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite this weekend, despite being an analog sort who still loves the feel of actual pages to turn and still uses notebooks and a pen everyday for to-do lists.
THIS WEEK’S LINKS come very late, for on Sunday night, we found ourselves spontaneously off to the south of France and decided to take (a very rare) few days off. The city was dripping with late spring sunshine and the skies were a blue that are only characteristic of the Mediterranean. We wandered the city streets, had long and leisurely lunches over wine, slept in late and rarely looked at our myriad social media accounts or any work at all, really, which was pure bliss. It was the closest we’ve come in a long time to unplugging it was magnificent. Now we’re back at the office (remotely), refreshed and excited to get back to work…
Stephen Hawking once said, “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change” and seeing as we’re on the brink of a massive change, these words will certainly be put to the test. Things have felt in a state of flux for the past few weeks now and we’re looking forward, at the end of all of this, to a few moments of calm, for a little time away, but mostly, for fresh starts and new beginnings… One thing is for certain, now more than ever, we know that nothing can happen to us as long as we’re together. This love is forever.
At the time of writing, the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris is on fire, its iconic spire, made of wood and lead and built during a restoration in the mid-19th century, confirmed collapsed. The 850-year-old medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris...
Steve Lacy has shared a new track, “N Side.” It’s the first new music we’ve heard from the Internet member since his 2017 solo debut Steve Lacy’s Demo, though he’s kept plenty busy in the meantime.
THERE IS A BOWL of orange blossoms on my desk exuding the most astonishingly lovely scent. We picked the blossoms from the orange grove in the gardens yesterday, as had thought I might make orange blossom water.
LATELY HAVE BEEN thinking about a lot of things―love and life and the things that matter most. But also about phones and social media and the attention economy and all the many, many articles have read about the dangers of all three...
After growing up in Brooklyn, singer and producer Grace Ives bounced around East Coast colleges before landing at SUNY Purchase, where her Roland MC 505 groovebox distinguished her from the plethora of guitarists hoping to follow the path of alumna Mitski.
TO SAY THAT HASN’T BEEN a great week around the world would be an understatement, with the horrific shooting at two mosques in New Zealand by an Australian terrorist last Friday afternoon, the on-going Brexit debacle and other unhappy news events. There were two bright lights in all this darkness, however.
