By the time you’re reading this, you’ll know who our new president will be. I’m stuck in the past, ignorant of the amazing things that you’re reading about in the future.
So while we wait to know our country’s fate, I have some a few articles I’ve Evernoted recently that I think you’ll really enjoy.
- An Open Letter to Ann Coulter: A beautiful article about the r-word.
- When The Doctor Says This Won’t Hurt A Bit — And Incredibly, It’s True: A fascinating article about fear and pain.
- Let’s Not Get to Know Each Other Better: A funny and raw look at modern relationships.
- Things I Have Learned from My Parents, Part 1: I love articles that point out things for which I’m thankful but don’t often acknowledge.
- Special Team: A touching look at the goodness in our fellow man.
What’s the last article/blog entry you read that really moved you in some way?
Joe Bageant, who sadly died a few years ago wrote a number of pretty powerful books and a number of essays that have rung true with me. http://www.joebageant.com has a great number of them, and they’re solid reads. Provided you still believe in the heart of liberalism.
Um I have only read like half of these but GREAT finds! The doctor article was amazing, the relationship one was pretty insightful.
Oh and my go-to person to read and/or get nuggets from his blog is Seth Godin: https://sethgodin.typepad.com/
This is a really long one https://chronicle.com/article/The-Education-of-Dasmine/132065/ but it touches my heart every time I read it and reminds me why I got into urban education. I challenge you to finish it without shedding tears.
A short story I read as I stood in line yesterday morning to vote.
It called “The Backward Fall” by Jason Helmandollar. Found it by Google-ing short stories. Be warned: It’s like “The Notebook”.
