“Snackable sustenance for the ride ahead” — what a perfect way to describe what this list offers!!
I’ve been thinking about why collections like this matter so much right now, and I think it’s this: they don’t ask us to look away from the chaos, only to remember that something else is always happening simultaneously. Ninety-nine proofs that care and ingenuity are not in short supply.
As someone who writes about memory and how we make meaning from the past, I’m struck by the curatorial act itself — the choosing, the gathering, the offering. Thank you for doing that work. These stories will travel further than you know.
Thank you for this round-up! I had missed many of these stories. I was a little disappointed that these summaries did not include sources, though. I went looking for more detail on a couple, but wasn't able to find them--for example, I can find articles about the Amazonian cities, but not why this article calls them "garden cities." I would be grateful if future guest authors could include their sources.
