Introducing our latest original, “The Wayfinders.”

“What is it, precisely, that you work for? What real goodness do you seek at the end of your own long line? “

Work-ethic wisdom from Fugazi and Ibram X. Kendi.

“We wait constantly, for a variety of outcomes and eventualities, some of which we can’t see coming.”

The brain is a funny thing. You give it the right cues of depth and immersion, and something that would otherwise be a memory of an image becomes a memory of an experience.

Parenting lessons at a science museum, Catholic anti-war raiders, R. O. Kwon, and our top 5 reads of the week.

In this edition: letting bodies be bodies, nobs in Nob Hill, New Mexico, Alpine divorces, an ode to an aging sled dog team, and a blockbuster story weed smuggling.

The Longreads questionnaire with Neal Allen and Anne Lamott, a book excerpt from Kory Stamper, and our Top 5 Longreads of the week.

We learn a lot as we move along; if we’re lucky, we might shed some old wisdom for better understanding.

We like to think Longreads furnishes more than simply emergency reading, and that’s certainly true this week.
