I have a new essay in the @sundaylongread about the long fight for gender integration at Lerwick’s annual viking fire festival If you like small peculiar places, 16-hour benders, and badass women—I’d appreciate if you gave it a read

When you die, would you rather have an open-casket funeral for anyone to look at your body or an open-access funeral for anyone to look at your data -- Google searches, Reddit history, text messages, and beyond? If that question gives you pause, read this. https://t.co/qUDH2fZwYW

Morning! We've got some great stories to share today—starting with our latest SLR Original. Enjoy and please share!

This ancient city is a vegetarian traveler's dream In #Kutaisi, Georgia, Imeretians still forage in nature for the ingredients that compose their colorful, vegetarian-friendly fare. By Kiki Dy via ⁦@NatGeo⁩ #ReisenInGeorgien

Where to go for a bloody mary bar or plenty of eggs Benedict

A list of small businesses open with power, AC, food, and more to visit in the aftermath of Helene

Ahead of the Sea of Ink opening tonight, I'm sharing a feature I wrote for Savannah Magazine about the city’s first-ever tattoo exhibit. The clamshell tattoo I woke up with in a hostel ten years ago will not be featured--but I might show you if you ask. https://t.co/8a8Ash0h1r

Savannah's food scene tells a tale of contrasts: glamor and grit, and the endless push and pull between what the city is and what the tourism industry wants it to become. Since this story is told just as nobly from a styrofoam box as it is on fine china, that's what you'll find

I had the opportunity to write about the most badass woman I met this year for @Thrillist! If you're ever in Madeira and want to test your endurance, Mayra is always up for a 10km swim😉

Savannah’s most romantic restaurant started with a love story.

Circa 1875 was the first restaurant I fell in love with when I moved to Savannah. I enjoyed a lingering dinner with the owners chatting about love, lore , and other indulgences. If you give it a read, dinner is on me when you visit 🥰 https://t.co/BsN72OKRDq

I found a surprise tucked off Georgia’s I-16 earlier this year—a memorabilia collection complete enough to rival any music hall of fame’s. Give it a read, or better yet, a visit.

The Music Memories Museum in Swainsboro is bringing the Nancy Auditorium, a forgotten stage in Emanuel County, back to life again.

Thank you so much for giving this a second life @nemoloris! Apologies for my username

I wrote about my favorite hideaway for Eater! Become a regular. Solve a mystery. Salvage Savannah.

Mad about how accurate this is

Has Spotify ‘playing recommended songs for you’ gotten better or did I just misjudge my microdose again

The surviving original members of @kingharvestditm went “Dancing in the Moonlight” to Ron Altbach who died in February. Special thanks to Mr. Dan Dy, King Harvest players Rod Novak and Eddie Tuleja for giving me “all access” coverage for this! https://t.co/qPwLf3sxnk

To some extent, we all lie to ourselves about where we come from and what it means. But in the Shetland Islands, those myths come wrapped in an annual booze-soaked Viking fire festival, Up Helly Aa. Kiki Dy visited it: #SLROriginal
