My last tweet of the evening. If you care about about great journalism, please stop the “”I’ve canceled my subscription” thing. The @washingtonpost newsroom is a remarkable asset. There are questions around it but Cameron Barr is someone to trust. Just take a deep breath.
Um, oversees rather than overseas, which is the work he edited of mine.
All I know about the bylines is that if I got a call from @gregpmiller and he had concerns about the ethics of decisions I’ve made I would have two reactions: ok, he’s fair and ethical and wow he’ll find out everything. He’s the most complete, honest journalist I’ve worked with.
What a great choice. One of the finest editors of his generation - cliche alert - but in this case truly deserved - fair, honest and so meticulous. So proud to have worked with him. I will trust the work he overseas. You all should.

Just finished Burn Coast by the great @DaleMaharidge. Vivid, spell-binding portrait of people and places at the edge of our continent and a clear-eyed elegy for the end of an era and ethos. Glad I didn’t read it before I tried to write about Humboldt; I would never have tried.
California’s been good to me, hope it don’t fall into the sea….

Thanks so much, Autumn, very grateful. I’ve also updated my goal given that my last one was for the 2022 effort.

Not the biggest surf - very high tide - but beautiful morning to start this great contest. #rinconclassic2024
that will extend beyond their terms of incarceration (and vastly widened my own reading interests.)
But the expansion has increased the burn rate of the money I raised in 2022 to fund this project. So I’m asking you here to support a new round of funding to keep this going.
Yes, there is a “who’s saving whom” element to this project, which makes it personal to me. But I believe it has brought some joy to dozens of men who have participated in the group and a lasting sense of the magic found in great writing, whether read or written by the men
themselves. If you feel as if you can afford to make a donation, thank you very much in advance. I think it matters to them - and certainly to me. Here’s the link to the GoFundMe page: gofundme.com/f/a-reading-and…
