Please Can We Not Normalise The Side Hustle? It's Not Good For All Of Us
For many people, the term will be synonymous with entrepreneurs making billions from their bedrooms or bestselling books scribbled in a hot new author’s spare time. Generation side-hustle is upon us, and whilst most millennials eye up mounting debts and soaring house prices a glitzy alternate world beckons. Efforts that hard-working Brits undertake outside of their usual hours contribute £72 billion to the UK economy and millennial attitudes towards work are cited as a key driver of the trend.

Is This The Solution To The UK's Rising Rent & House Prices?
The average UK property price is now a hefty £225,000 (and more than double that in London) and rents are predicted to rise considerably in the next five years. In an effort to combat the country's housing crisis, which has resulted in 1% of the population living on the streets or in emergency accommodation, New Zealand's government has just banned the sale of existing properties to foreign buyers. “We should not be tenants in our own land,” associate minister of finance David Parker told parliament this week.

A £35 Rental Is Airbnb's Most Popular Treehouse Listing In The World
There's something about a treehouse that just feels like magic. The whimsical "homes", tangled in branches and leaves, remind us of childhood — complete with endless imaginative adventures. But, as adults, revisiting one of these nostalgic structures no longer needs to look like climbing up the old oak tree at our parent's house and smacking our head on a low-hanging piece of plywood.

TV preview: Brilliant documentary Dwarfs in Art: A New Perspective and Tattoo Age on ink masters
Dwarfs in Art: A New Perspective does rather suggest that there was an old perspective that somehow had to smashed by some contemporary dwarfish iconoclasts. For we all do have a cultural perspective of dwarfism, in the widest sense. Think Mini-Me, the late Verne Troyer, in the Austin Powers films.

Robin Green on being the only female journalist on the masthead of 'Rolling Stone' in the 1970s
Of the many illuminating chapters in Robin Green’s new memoir, The Only Girl, in which she recounts her time as the sole woman writing for US music magazine Rolling Stone during its early 1970s heyday, the one entitled A Big Journalistic No-No is surely one of the more memorable. When she drifted towards San Francisco in the late 1960s in the hope of dropping in on the offices of her favourite magazine, the very apex of her ambition was the possibility of landing a secretarial role. Instead, charmed by her deadpan humour, editor Jann Wenner was soon asking her to write 5,000-word cover stories on subjects ranging from David Cassidy to Marvel Comics, Green thereby almost instantaneously graduating to a level most rock hacks can only dream of.

'La Maladie de la Mort', Lyceum, Edinburgh review: Provocative and bound to cause controversy
There are many angles to take and many ways of seeing Katie Mitchell and Alice Birch’s free adaptation of Marguerite Duras’ story, which arrives at the Edinburgh International Festival from the Theatre des Bouffes du Nord before transferring to the Barbican in October. It tells of a man who cannot feel, who tries to experience love by having a woman visit him each night in his hotel room to do his bidding.
