This by @faith_palermo is chilling--which seems too cheap a word for it. The best personal narrative helps me feel like someone profoundly different from myself, as this does. electricliterature.com/my-ne…

There's something magical about coauthored fiction. This by @emilyrinkema and @DawnSteffler in @cutleafjournal is both funny and devastating. #nationalshortstorymonth cutleafjournal.com/content/k…

From @pewresearch, a rare study of US reading habits with pretty rosy results. Also, those rose-colored bookshelves are kinda kooky. (Link via @PublishersLunch.) #amreading pewresearch.org/short-reads/…

In a book review packed with insight, @samtwyfordmoore confirms my sneaking suspicion: LLMs lack comic timing. killyourdarlings.com.au/arti…

These days, rooting for peace in Syria lends a rare type of hope for my own country's turn from authoritarianism. This study by @Shtuni lays out the extraordinary measures that nation's new leader has taken, is taking, and still may need to take. ctc.westpoint.edu/from-insur…
