workweek reading recs (14 October 2024)

Welcome to the first workweek reading recs!

I love to read longform articles at work during breaks. Every week, I will post three (3) links and I encourage everyone to share articles they've read (recently or not!) that others might want to read this week. (Please keep in mind community rules regarding content notes and common triggers.)

  • Love, Interrupted, Kelsey Rexroat for Atavist (August 2024)
    Content notes: family rejection, homophobia (happy ending and the single most romantic true story I've ever read)
  • Why Does Yellowstone National Park Turn Us All into Maniacs? by Drew Magary for Outside (5 September 2024)
    Content notes: ableist/saneist language ("crazy," "maniacs," etc.), joking references to bear and bison attacks (not graphic)
  • The Fever Called Living by Evan Malmgren for Harper's (October 2024)
    Content notes: medical gaslighting, conspiracy theories


What did you read last week? These articles don't have to be breaking news or even recently posted.
