I’m sorry to report that I’ve been under the weather all week and am only just now on the mend, so there will be no Sunday Edition this week. (I’ll be back next Sunday though, and this coming Wednesday.)

If you want something to read in the interim, here are some pieces I’ve loved recently:

Maybe So, Sir, but Not Today: The Fragile Humanity of Top Gun: Maverick by Elizabeth Cantwell in Bright Wall/Dark Room.

This conversation between Annie Ernaux and Céline Sciamma about feminism.

Melanie Lynksey filling in for Dear Prudence over at Slate.

On Hope, by Jenn Agg in Hazlitt.

I’ve also made this week’s dispatch from the lesbian internet available to all subscribers, free or paid, for one week only. If you want to read it every week, you’ll need to upgrade your subscription.

See you on the other side (aka next week).
