Kathryn Cooper’s Layered Photos Capture the Complexities of Starling Murmurations

Flocks of starlings share risk as hundreds—even thousands—of eyes are on the lookout for predators. “Remarkably, the group achieves this without any leadership structure, the simple interactions between individuals creating outcomes greater than the sum of their parts,” says scientist and photographer Dr. Kathryn Cooper.

Shows like the Real Housewives were kicking off new franchises in different cities around the world, women were competing to date one mediocre man on The Bachelor, and people were hooked on the drama on all kinds of Lord of the Flies-esque competition shows like Survivor and America’s Next Top Model.  Jersey Shor

When RuPaul read KeKe Palmer’s new memoir-cum-self-help-book Master of Me this summer, he knew it had to be the November selection for his book club. “This book is a life hack,” Ru exclaimed when the two got together earlier this month over Zoom. “This is a way for someone to navigate life in the 21st century.” Palmer, of course, has always been something of a wise sage, but the book gets especially candid about those moments when she didn’t feel all that confident
