I urge you to read Paper Girl by Beth Macy. She did a very deep dive on this situation, based on her hometown, her own family and friends. Incredibly insightful.

I've already raved (like many) about @brian-goldstone.bsky.social's book There Is No Place For Us. I read it right around this time last year, and thought, this is the best book I've read in a while. Brian is also a gem of a person.

Curious about that new Knausgaard. Sounds interesting.

Charlie always loved the license plate game.
And the other one was “I’m going on a trip and I’m bringing an ape,” and then the next person picks a “b” word, etc… Anytime it’s your turn, you need to bring all the things that were said before your turn.

I’m sure this game has a name.
