Hi longreads! I'm sorry I missed last week - I was traveling and it really threw off my groove.

• Congress Is Pushing for a Medicaid Work Requirement. Here’s What Happened When Georgia Tried It. (2025/06)
• Your Lost Suitcase is Probably in Alabama (2025/07)
• Violent Delights (2022/12)
• The radical 1960s schools experiment that created a whole new alphabet – and left thousands of children unable to spell (2025/07)
• From the archives: For the Wealthy, Sports Opened a Back Door to Elite Colleges (2019/03)
• From deep in the archives: The Man in the Latex Suit (2005/07)
  content notes: murder, sexual violence
• Poetry: I, Too, by Langston Hughes
• Short story: An Incomplete Timeline of What We Tried, by Debbie Urbanski
• Podcast: We Are Living in a Casino - Panic World (2025/06)

… and because I keep forgetting to do this, you have two charities to consider donating to this week: Debt Collective, a U.S.-based debtors union, and Turtles Fly Too, a sea turtle rescue organization.
