Resource Roundup #61

For the week of January 6th.

Happy Friday Folks,

2023 thus far: sunlight, coffee, early morning boxing classes, actually finishing my TBR pile that has sat on my nightstand for months, the feeling of possibility opening up before me. All good things. I resume to my “normal” schedule of coursework and teaching next week, which also means that our normal newsletter operations return soon. Until then, here are things for your weekend…

I too was sent The Atlantic article about the myths of Appalachia many times. Appodlachia does a great job unpacking it here.
