- 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/...

"Do Our Dogs Have Something to Tell the World?" @chameauleon.bsky.social "Bromley’s fascinating feature can’t render a definitive judgment on dogs’ linguistic facility, since science can’t either, but it still plumbs the question with rigor and verve." www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/m...

- 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
