Monday Reading is my weekly recommendation of something I’ve found thought-provoking or fascinating. Sometimes it is about something I have read. Sometimes it is about television or food or music or projects I care about supporting. Sometimes I do not send it on Monday. Please share with anyone who might like the vibes!!
Student journalists at Columbia University have been doing vital live reporting since the solidarity encampment was established two weeks ago and are putting in the work tonight, as the NYPD raids the campus and begins embedding there, at the university’s invitation, until May 17, 2024.

Their website is overloaded, but you can use this link to download a stream to your device. They are also going live on Instagram as needed. You can donate to the station here.
See you soon!
PS: In response to the very reasonable question “what’s up with this newsletter,” I’m … working on it. I will have news about a new publication (a cool pamphlet-length essay!) soon, and I am trying to get a grip on many late assignments so I can do more here. If you are a paid subscriber, thank you. It makes a very big difference to me. I’ll be in touch about sending you my new publication as a gift.
