    Sorry for the late post this week. In addition to embarking on a reread of William Faulkner’s “Absalom, Absalom!” (more on that later) here’s what I read: 1. Let’s talk about eliminating tipping at restaurants. 2. This guy is the most prolific editor on Wikipedia, and has made more than 1.5 million edits across the website. 3.…

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. The secret to great driving songs. 2. This story about a New England magazine that has managed to stay in business for 80 years makes me believe in the future of journalism. 3.

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. Read this profile of Ina Garten ASAP. 2. This article about hair as a gender marker and what it does as a gender marker was really fascinating. (The New Republic had a lot of good stuff this week and I don’t traditionally link more than once to the same publication,…

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. I loved this essay about annotating Alice in Wonderland and the contemporary connection of Genius. This is the kind of literary analysis content I’m here for. 2.

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. I follow Anne Helen Petersen on Twitter, and was not surprised that this profile on Alison Brie was so well-written and so thoughtful. A must-read. (Also, I like how Buzzfeed is stepping up its design game.) 2. This is a great article that explains the history and methodology…

    I’ve had this quote from Ira Glass saved for awhile, but one of my closest friends, Valerie, sent it to me this week — a very trying week for me — and it is so incredibly profound to me now that I’m trying my very best to remember it. Nobody tells this to people who…

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. This is a great interview with Lisa Frank. 2. Discussing the authenticity of Disney World via its food. 3. Here’s the story behind the “Gilmore Girls” music. 4. This guy is the Birkenstock doctor. 5. The ballpoint pen killed cursive. And a bonus: I am living for this Archer x…

    Oh man, what a week. That’s all I can say. Here’s what I read: 1. This writer played a word game based on Moby Dick when he had insomnia. His observations are fascinating. 2. A highly scientific, real-life exploration into how anyone could possibly like the rapper J. Cole. (Disclosure: I liked his latest album when…

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. A discussion of the color black in the art world. 2. Living in a post-delete world. 3. The research this article is based on is kind of old, but this is still an interesting perspective on the geography of New York business lunches that I think may be applicable…

  • Link Party: 8/3-8/7

    I had a really difficult time this week getting interested in what I was reading and finding stuff to write about — the motivation for a forthcoming blog post. Here’s what I read that I actually found insightful: 1. Adventures in typography. 2. Infiltrating a white pride Facebook group and turning it into a LGBT Southerners for…
