@petridishes.bsky.social is at The Atlantic and I get to work with her, lucky me! Read her great first essay: "I have pulled a rare reverse Rip van Winkle. Rip took a brief, well-deserved nap and woke up decades later to discover that his country no longer had a king. I did the opposite of that."

Had fun trawling through some takes on shopping in @theatlantic.com archives, and came to the conclusion that a bit of inconvenience in the purchase process is probably a good thing: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
