France is fiercely protective of its landmarks, food, and other forms of cultural heritage. Now the French government is hoping citizens can think of wildlife as “patrimoine,” too, @MchughJess writes: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…


Serge lost his father to Auschwitz and Beate’s father voted for Hitler, but they met on a Paris subway platform and fell in love just the same. They traveled the world hunting Nazis. This is the story of their courageous fight for the truth. New work! everand.com/audiobook/7113…


A hospital for wild animals in Paris takes care of 7,000+ animals per year, including many tiny hedgehogs, like this one! It's the most feel-good story I've ever written Please read! @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/world/2024/03/…

Despite nearly a full decade of sending pitches to editors, and understanding HOW READING WORKS, this is me, 0.3 seconds after sending a pitch, refreshing my inbox, hoping for an instant YES


Nothing like the anxiety of trying to remember what you were anxious about


Finally met my neighbor and he said "nice to finally put a face to everything I hear"... Which is hands-down the last thing I wanted to hear


"The human condition is inconvenient, and Americans appreciate a quick and tidy fix." Great piece in @TheAtlantic by @kelkord and honored to have a little shoutout for Americanon! theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

The man who killed Jordan Neely wasn’t protecting himself. He was empowered by a cultural movement that has normalized regular citizens deputizing themselves as judges and executioners in the name of white supremacy. Infamously this also happened in another period of US history
