I don't have editing privileges, but she is welcome to issue the correction that The New Yorker is one of the few remaining, but not the only. We are all capable of making errors, myself included. :)

thank you, and that's great to hear! I had completely missed that. I'm glad to hear more of such exceptions to the general trend continuing to exist, even under the radar! The more writers getting paid the better!

Privileged AF to get my grubby mitts on an ARC of this near-future fever dream. Avail yourselves of a copy - and a pair of knee-high railroad spike boots - the split second it drops!

Dr. Pullen and her TA Fidil recommend Great Disasters by Grady Chambers from @tinhouse.bsky.social. This novel of coming of age in early 2000s Chicago is at once tender towards its characters, and utterly afraid to show them at their best and worst, all in lucid and lovely prose. #purrfectreads

My entire college class from last semester could tell that reviewer (you all know the one) that they've misunderstood Frankenstein. Sigh.

The comment period for the attempt to rescind the Endangerment finding (the basis for all US regulation of greenhouse gas emissions) goes until the 22nd of Sept. Please comment and tell them not to rescind this finding, if they do, we are in HUGE trouble.

The Roadless Rule does a huge amount to protect wild areas against wildfires, the vast majority of which begin near roads. It's super easy to leave a comment urging them to keep the Roadless Rule and protect against fires. Comments like this make a big impact! www.regulations.gov/commenton/FS...
