“We met with the bankruptcy attorney earlier in the week, and it was surprisingly easy. She took one look at our last two tax returns and unceremoniously declared, ‘Okay, so Chapter 7. You walk away from this.’ I meet with her again on Monday, but for now it feels like a small miracle.” This is from a newish newsletter called Running Balance, which is about negotiating money, debt, and bankruptcy, told from a personal angle. The author is anonymous, but she’s married and they have two young children.
“...vessels of deep time.” I loved this story about diamonds, in the New Yorker.

“Oh, did you find these pinecones camping?” [Spiralbound] (Again, I’m biased because I run Spiralbound, but I still love this.)
