My loved ones were safe. I still had a job. Now my hair was falling out for no appreciable reason. The second time it happened, a little more than a year later, I was sure—not because of what was in the shower drain, but because of what was obviously no longer on my head. One day, after washing and drying my hair, I looked at my hairline in the mirror and it was thin enough that I could make out the curvature of my scalp beneath it.
When I looked at it, the panic became sharp. Doing work that is fulfilling has become ubiquitous career advice, but no one should depend on a single social institution to define their sense of self.

According to my research, which draws on surveys and interviews with college students, graduates, and career coaches, more than 75 percent of college-educated workers believe that passion is an important factor in career decision making.
And 67 percent of them say they would prioritize meaningful work over job stability, high wages, and work-life balance. Believers in this idea trust that passion will inoculate them against the drudgery of working long hours on tasks that they have little personal connection to.
For many, following their passion is not only a path to a good job; it is the key to a good life. John Henry Ramirez is going to die. The state of Texas is going to kill him. The question that came before the Supreme Court this week is whether Dana Moore, his longtime pastor, will be able to lay hands on him as he dies. Given the grand, even alarmed pronouncements about religious liberty made by the right-wing justices recently, you might think this would be an easy decision.

If you tweet whatever crosses your mind about a celebrity, it could quite possibly reach the phone in her hand as she sits on her couch in her house. We are wired to care about what others think of us. Tony Judt said that there is darkness in this world, and that darkness often triumphed—and liberated me to do the same.
I always find it hard to list the books that have influenced me the most. Moreover, people who set as their job the task of judging what others do, and why, are not always reliable when turning the lens upon themselves.
Still, on that changing list there are a few mainstays. Bob: Fuckin' eh. Muthafucker makes me mad. For when someone really annoys you. Another word for very angry. To express the like or enjoyment of someone or something.
