Thanks, Noha! I’ve returned to that piece over and over again. I actually read ‘Stand for Something’ yesterday and sent it to three friends right away. I couldn’t decide on a single Hamilton Nolan piece so I just gave him a general shoutout in the article. Will read the Drift piece tomorrow. Happy New Year to you 🌞
My friend Diana wrote a beautiful piece for Longreads that has stayed in my mind all fall. Thanks for this list, I agree that editors seem to make a whole lot of difference https://longreads.com/2024/07/25/predator-or-prey-diana-saverin/
Thanks for sharing, Julia! I’ve just sent it to my Kindle to read tomorrow. Happy New Year 😚
You too!
Just finished Diana’s piece. Please tell her I found it wonderful. Going to read what else I can find by her now. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing! Will do
Love this list. I read the genocide one at the time and found it invaluable and now I’m looking forward to reading the others.
Off the top of my head (and there’s definitely confirmation bias happening right now) a couple of the best things I’ve read this year are

I sent the Hamilton Nolan piece around too off Substack and keep restacking it here to try to catch the attention of as many ppl as possible.
And yes, sharing writing I’ve loved is my love language too.
Happy New Year and take good care 😊
