SENESTE EPISODE 🔗

Fighting traffic

In 1922, the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the U.S., dedicated a memorial to the 286 children killed in car crashes the previous year. More than 5,000 people attended the ceremony, which was inspired by a previous Safety Week in Baltimore, Maryland, and New York City’s Safety Week procession…

Where did August go? Into wildfire smoke and the heat of exhausted ecosystems. “What do you notice?” “A lot of grief. And there’s something like . . . an internal flinch. Not a physical flinch, almost a psychological one.” The clinician raised his eyebrows and wrote something down but said nothi…
I have a story to share with you. It’s a strange turn of phrase, “I have a story.” Or maybe not strange. In cultures all over the world—and once, I imagine, in every culture—stories are sacred. Some you may only tell in certain seasons, others only to people allowed to receive them. “Have a story”:…
I recently came across a news story about the community of Lake Tahoe, California—a place known as a ski resort, as my town in Montana is also known but, also like my town, a place where thousands of people live full-time. People who keep the community running, whose taxes and labor pay for the inf…
All wild waters have a different flavor. The North Fork of the Flathead River, the river near the off-grid cabin I stay at most often, is wide, and fast enough I wouldn’t risk trying to swim across it. Its headwaters are in Canada, and it has so far been saved from toxic selenium levels by an inter…
Somewhere between 112,000 and 121,000 years ago, a person walked along the muddy residue of a lake that today is so long gone it might be found only in myth. And maybe not even there—the oldest known story of humankind reaches back only 100,000 years. Whoever walked those shores, whoever it was who…

Bound for hell

My father recently sent me a photo from outside the apartment he and my stepmother share in Moscow. It’s a tiny one-room flat that once belonged to my stepmother’s grandmother, Anastasia Tsvetaeva. Anastasia’s sister, Marina Tsvetaeva, is still one of the most beloved poets in Russia; it was lesser…

Following is a revised essay originally published in 2021. People leave home for all kinds of reasons. This essay is not a judgment; the relevance of this question— “What would it take for a person to leave?”—never fails to fascinate and sadden me. Friends sometimes ask me how long I’ll stick it ou…
The following is a revised version of an essay originally published in January 2022. Many years ago, late into Barack Obama’s presidential administration, maybe in 2015 or even early 2016, I had a long messaging conversation with an acquaintance about some of the right-wing movements and talking po…
