The 33 Project

Hello hello. It’s Thursday so it’s time for some recommendations! Here are this week’s three:

1/ I’ve been sitting with this post for a while. It’s really beautiful and sad and intense. It’s a personal essay of a son’s experience reckoning with his clinically depressed mother’s death by cancer. The son is Jesse Singal, host of a podcast I like called Blocked & Reported and he’s an excellent writer and researcher.

2/ On a lighter note, I felt very seen in (and frankly, dragged by) this piece about the ever-expanding issue of internet open tabs.
