What newsletter do I always make time to read? @elizabethheld's What to Read If. @danoshinsky of @inboxcollective asked me and a bunch of other newsletter folks for our favorites. Of course, the real answer is about 10 or 12 or 15 different newsletters! inboxcollective.com/one-newsletter…

The Slate Political Gabfest is the first podcast I ever listened to so hearing @davidplotz talk about me and @RRRBookClub was WILD. Thanks for recognizing the community we've built! open.spotify.com/episode/6JJscq…

Great discussion here by my bookstacker buddy @ElizabethHeld - w/ 5 thoughts: 1/5-In the text, Darcy evolves & apologizes, in what I like to call Austen's post-game analysis. 2/5-It's Elizabeth standing up to him that spurs his reckoning washingtonpost.com/books/2023/11/…

Talked a lot this weekend about how @BrynMawrAlum are such interesting people. For example: Andrea Tang, fantasy novelist AND Jiu-Jitsu champion.

Update: I won Euros! The good news is that I finally get to eat all the pizza & pasta in Italy that I want! The bad news is that after getting my hand raised in the finals, I totally missed the opportunity to bellow “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!” at the top of my lungs
