In 2003, Sloane Crosley’s childhood friend was heading home from work when she heard meowing coming from a warehouse. Inside, she found a stray cat, proud but mangy, and decided to take her home. The cat was pregnant. Soon, Crosley received a photograph of the kittens, all arranged on her friend’s lap. “Don’t these remind you of your cats growing up?” the friend wrote. “She knows a target when she sees one,” Crosley writes. For 21 years, the gray tabby was Crosley’s first sight in the morning. But, then, the cat got very sick. “This part will be familiar to anyone who has had to put an animal down,” Crosley writes. “I fell on the sword of my own hysteria.” After the cat was gone, Crosley curled up with her head on the cat’s spot until she felt only her own warmth. “Your pet dies; it feels like a secret you’ve been keeping might die with her,” Crosley writes. “I did not adopt a cat. She fell into my lap. And now she has fallen back out.” Read a new Personal History about what we lose when we lose a pet: https://lnkd.in/gy44J5jV

Few issues are more important to Kamala Harris’s chances in November than reproductive rights, which include not only abortion but also in-vitro fertilization and contraception. Her campaign has tapped more than a dozen women, called abortion storytellers, to talk about their abortions; they have introduced Harris at events, and they are training others to give their own testimonies in the hope of highlighting the stakes in November. Those sharing their experiences include the actor Ashley Judd, who travelled to Virginia to speak about being raped and getting an abortion, and Hadley Duvall, whose raw account of being raped by her stepfather at the age of 12 moved Kentucky voters in 2023. Unlike feminist groups that for decades have told abortion stories while emphasizing female empowerment, and politicians who have relied on elliptical talk of “choice,” these women often speak about the agony of needing to terminate a pregnancy for medical reasons and, because of Dobbs, struggling to find help. “The conventional wisdom was you don’t talk about abortion on TV,” a Harris campaign adviser said. “That is completely different already this year. We talk about abortion all over the place.” Read about the women cutting through the abstractions surrounding abortion and changing the terms of the debate: https://lnkd.in/gaKT-bQX

Carolina Uccelli’s opera “Anna di Resburgo” was remarkably inventive—but it vanished after its première in 1835. Convinced that it merited a second chance, the artistic director Will Crutchfield brought it to Teatro Nuovo. A pair of performances last month, at Montclair State University and at Jazz at Lincoln Center, proved him emphatically right. “ ‘Anna’ is a formidable achievement for a composer in her mid-twenties,” Alex Ross writes. “It feels like the slightly overstuffed but hugely promising early work of a major voice.” Read the review: https://lnkd.in/gqi77GYt
