===== Meet the woman who lives without money: ‘I feel more secure than when I was earning’ ===== | |||
[https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/feb/01/meet-the-woman-who-lives-without-money-i-feel-more-secure-than-when-i-was-earning by Louise Southerden 31/1/25 The Guardian] | |||
Sharon Brodie clearly remembers her first Christmas with her good friend Jo Nemeth. It was 2016 and also her first Christmas without her husband, Monty, who had died suddenly a month earlier | |||
===== I was a long-haired teenage boy in the 1960s. Why did everyone hate us so much? ===== | |||
[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/dec/14/i-was-a-long-haired-teenage-boy-in-the-1960s-why-did-everyone-hate-us-so-much by Alan Clayson 14/12/24 The Guardian] | |||
Throughout the mid-to-late 60s, I had to fight every literal inch of the way over the matter of long hair. As I practised being Mick Jagger before the bedroom mirror, it was always on the understanding that, within hours, I might be in front of that same mirror after a parentally-dictated trip to the barber. | |||
===== Bhutan tried to erase us. Now, Trump’s America is helping ===== | |||
[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/10/bhutan-refugees-trump-america by Lok Darjee 10/7/25 The Guardian] | |||
In mid-March 2025, I sat quietly in the back of a small, crowded room at the Asian Refugees United center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, surrounded by members of the Bhutanese diaspora. The silence was heavy, thick with fear and uncertainty. This modest office, once a vibrant hub for refugee youth, cultural celebrations, and literary competitions, had become an impromptu crisis center, where community leaders scrambled to make sense of the Trump administration’s escalating immigration crackdown on Bhutanese refugees across the country. | |||
===== The destruction of Palestine is breaking the world Moustafa Bayoumi ===== | |||
[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/jul/06/destruction-of-palestine-is-breaking-the-world by Sereen Haddad 6/7/25 The Guardian] | |||
Haddad, who is Palestinian American, had been raising awareness on her campus about the Palestinian fight for freedom as part of her university’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. The struggle is also personal for her. With roots in Gaza, she has lost more than 200 members of her extended family to Israel’s war. | |||
===== Ben Franklin Declared His Independence from his Inheritance of Nasty Superstitions and Became an Enlightenment Man ===== | |||
[https://www.theunpopulist.net/p/ben-franklin-declared-his-independence by ANDY CRAIG 4/7/25 The UnPopulist] | |||
In 1692, Salem, Mass. was in the throes of its infamous witch trials. In courtroom scenes which seem so inexplicably absurd to us, human beings were sent to the gallows on the basis of “spectral evidence”—invisible proof of alleged witchcraft that only the accusers, mostly young girls, could see or experience. Many would collapse into screaming fits in front of the judges, alleging that they were being tormented in that very moment by the bewildered defendants. But not all such accusers were impressionable children, as it’s often remembered. One was a woman around the age of 40. | |||
===== The real Salt Path: how a blockbuster book and film were spun from lies, deceit and desperation ===== | |||
[https://observer.co.uk/news/national/article/the-real-salt-path-how-the-couple-behind-a-bestseller-left-a-trail-of-debt-and-deceit by Chloe Hadjimatheou 5/7/25 National] | |||
A heartbreaking “true” story of two people in their early 50s forced out of their rural home in Wales and weighed down by a sudden diagnosis of Moth’s terminal illness, The Salt Path went straight to the top of the bestseller charts, selling more than 2m copies worldwide since its publication in 2018. | |||
===== A beautiful, broken America: what I learned on a 2,800-mile bus ride from Detroit to LA ===== | |||
[https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2023/jul/26/america-roadtrip-greyhound-bus by Joanna Pocock 26/7/23 The Guardian] | |||
Historically, chroniclers of the road have travelled by car – intrepid individuals in charge of their destinies. They also tend to be male. The only book I could find by a woman about crossing the US was America Day by Day by Simone de Beauvoir. It is also the only Great American Road Trip book that features Greyhound bus travel. Simone became my companion on the road. | |||
===== How did these class rings stay put for decades? Santa Cruz County beach mystery delights ocean expert ===== | |||
[https://lookout.co/how-did-these-class-rings-stay-put-for-decades-santa-cruz-county-beach-mystery-delights-ocean-expert/story by Hillary Ojeda 3/7/25 LookOut | |||
When UC Santa Cruz ocean expert Gary Griggs read this week about a ring found on a local beach 28 years after it was lost in the water, he was struck by the similarities to another story he’s told his students for more than two decades about a long-lost ring found on the beach. | |||
===== Is America’s oldest Chinese restaurant in a tiny suburb of Sacramento? Historians investigate ===== | |||
