Whenever I read a great article I love sending it around to the pals and making it “go viral” within my circle of friends. It’s basically like book club but short form so everybody actually reads …. And then you have something to talk about when you all hang out in real life!
A few years ago we became obsessed with a New Yorker article by Gary shteyngart about his botched circumcision and we still talk about it to this day.. powerful stuff . Today my friend sent me the NYT story of the guy who lived rent-free in the New Yorker hotel for 5 years. We will have much to discuss when I see her next!!

This is so interesting to read because I feel like to followers, the breakup of a friendship that used to be public, seems to be more painful than an actual relationship. I think it further emphasizes this generation's need for connection, projecting it onto the friend group that used to be.

"I don't care if you think your writing is shit," she told me. "It's probably amazing and if you die before I do, I'm going to publish your work. Like Max Brod did for Kafka."
We were sixteen years old and I was mortified by the idea of anyone reading my stories. Reluctantly, I started handing handwritten pages to my closest friends. We all have to start somewhere.
12 years later, I'm still as anxious and insecure about my writing as I was back then, but the group of friends in my corner has grown. They don't care much about writing, but cheer me on every step of the way. Without them, I would have given up in writing a long time ago. They truly are the Brod to my Kafka 🖤

You are spared no details. Linda’s blog reveals the secret lives of forest-dwelling animals in upstate New York with the attention of a senior animal tracker. This article on the Ruffed Grouse‘s winter burrowing strategies is a fine gateway.
