- I've been more "productive" as a freelancer than at any other point in my life, despite my longstanding skepticism of productivity.

- I asked @greenwell.bsky.social a bunch of questions for @columjournreview.bsky.social about private equity in local news and what to do about it. Her book Bad Company is excellent -- go read it! www.cjr.org/the-intervie...

- Years later, I can still feel the bouncy Skype ringtone of calling my grandpa in Russia right in my bones @restofworld.org put together a Skype memorial of global users sharing their memories in audio/video This piece is a delight and beautiful palate cleanser! restofworld.org/2025/skype-s...
- This week @theverge.com is publishing a series on the legacy of the Vietnam War. I wrote about the generation of children who were adopted from the war. While reporting this, I was struck by how historically singular the experiences of this group of people are. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

- Take a break from the dumpster fire/apocalypse/end of democracy and read a zine...? My friend Camille produced this beautifully designed, “whip-smart little zine” called Know-It-All. I contributed a piece on the thing I know the most about—what else but Anna May Wong. substack.com/home/post/p-...

- An absolute pleasure to talk to @davey.bsky.social and @leonyin.org about their blockbuster Bloomberg investigation into the podcasts building support for Trump's agenda. Via @columjournreview.bsky.social www.cjr.org/the_media_to...
- Writing this review of Lee Chang-dong's first story collection in English prompted me to rewatch his films...all masterpieces. If you like them, Snowy Day is very much on the same level. Via @nytimesbooks.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/b...
- After getting my dog I became fascinated by all the contradictory ways humans treat pets — for example, people who teach their dogs to use buttons to talk. I decided to see what was behind this phenomenon, culturally and scientifically, for NYT Magazine. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/m...
- This is a fun one! It's a story about how humans both prematurely dismiss what animals might be capable of and also expect too much of them. And as a mega fan of Maurizio Cattelan + Pierpaolo Ferrari I was THRILLED to see the photos. Thanks to @nytimes.com
