Sharing this again for the evening crowd. If you’re an editor who needs words on the NFL, NASCAR, Formula 1, college football, WNBA or women’s college basketball, let’s chat. I need to make a few hundred extra a month to buy diapers & baby food.
Unfortunately, my time with @RotoBaller has come to a close. It was a good run & I'll miss working with the team there. If anyone has any paid, part-time opportunities in the fantasy football or motorsports space, please let me know.

A mesmerizing & perspective-altering book. Wong’s hypnotic prose challenges us to look differently at ocean life & our relationship with the many quieter species we often take for granted. A love letter to the ocean & an absolute marvel of a book. –Tom Lathan 🙏 @GraywolfPress

EMILY OSBORNE | Unsurprisingly, manuscript traditions reveal that scribes were often stumped by the kennings they recorded or copied, and Hallfreðr’s seven-part kenning for Oláfr is no exception.
