EXHIBIT G by Fady Joudah made @hyperallergic.com's Fall reading list. Their description says it plainly: children carrying empty pots instead of toys, no school, no future in sight. This book matters. Read about it here - page1m.co/4dwid3K

"I call those feelings bolting urges." Malavika Kannan's new excerpt in @pghreviewofbooks.bsky.social names something so many of us feel and never have the words for. Wildfire smoke, a missed birthday call home, and the urge to disappear. Go read it. page1m.co/4hrCEjG

Dr. Leonard Sax, author of BOYS ADRIFT, talked with @wgntv.com's Morning News in Chicago about why so many boys are struggling to get motivated these days. Real conversation, not the usual headline stuff. Watch it here: page1m.co/4AtvkwB

I had an amazing time visiting McLennan Community College and Baylor Law School last week. MCC is doing incredible work with first generation students and it was a real honor to give the Kenneth Starr endowed lecture on all things 250. You can tell from the last picture that I really hate my work. 🥰
