they've gotta do something about profile headlines. not every time "Dua Lipa is finally ready to be herself" or "Tom Holland wants to tell it like it is". like there has to be another way to do this

For @londonermag.bsky.social, I caught up with a bunch of people who have contributed to the evergreen "Why I'm Leaving London" genre of journalism, and thought about what we are really talking about when we talk about getting out of the capital www.the-londoner.co.uk/leaving-lond...

Very much enjoyed this story about a surreal Bigfoot conference and the people who still believe Bigfoot is out there, by @imogenwk.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/5a80...

in case you missed it over the weekend. bigfoot is dead, long live bigfoot

This is a really fun piece. It's genuinely amazing to observe the utter bollocks that people are prepared to sincerely believe.

Love this by @imogenwk.bsky.social on her weekend spent with Sasquatch believers. "There is an appeal in the idea that, while we have fallen out of step with nature, there is a version of humanity that hasn’t." www.ft.com/content/5a80...

It's pretty squatchy out there. What a charming, seductive, batshit piece of writing. Loved it.

Here is my account of a long weekend I spent camping in Oregon with Bigfoot believers, out today in FT Weekend www.ft.com/content/5a80...
