It’s been almost two years since I read a line from a lawsuit that would spiral into a story so much bigger than I could ever imagine. It’s a story about BBLs, but it’s also a story about power, social media& a system that preys on our every insecurity: https://t.co/32ida8Um5m

Last week's essay is the 2nd @95gunn has written for OA. Her #lettertoastranger, "To the Swimmer in the Borneo Rainforest," reflects on the comfort of friendship when faced with danger, and was featured in Best American Travel Writing 2021. Read it here: https://t.co/x3JnpmS0ql

Amen. When @OffAssignment puts out a story like this one, a thousand to-do lists of my recent past glow with worth. YES, @95gunn. How fully & deftly & unforgettably you sweep us to Alaska.

[Alexander Lumans @OldManLumans]

This @OffAssignment piece by Meghan Gunn is superb. Alaska, Post Malone, Silence...everything you want in an essay. Read it here:

.@postmalone echoes over Alaskan tundra. @95gunn watches over children left behind while adults go inland to fish for the winter. She also finds rising seas, kids who grow up too fast, & a new form of speech. Read this stunning "Under the Influence" essay: https://t.co/lsDxzwFrSb

"The drug has significant risks, including bleeding & brain swelling. Eisai estimates the annual price of treatment would be somewhere between $9,249 & $35,605 & the drug has only a modest effect on the debilitating progress of Alzheimer's" @ProfRobHoward @pash22 @gregggonsalves

This week, we're reading a meditative review by @emilydingwrites of @Tim_Hannigan's "Travel Writing Tribe;" a philosophical treatise on astonishment by @timmtriplett; and an investigation by @95gunn about deadly plastic surgery. These & more: https://t.co/kNySR9nr5V

Slick Instagram ads promised the perfect figure at a great price. But for these women, their Brazilian Butt Lift dreams turned into a life-threatening nightmare. More from @95gunn's yearlong investigation into the world of discount BBLs: https://t.co/TIpUqFGiMf

[Marie Claire @marieclaire]

When Tyesha Washington made her way into an unfinished basement below the glitzy lobby of Goals Plastic Surgery, she was told to swallow a handful of Xanax and Percocet before undergoing her BBL. The pills would render her numb—but awake—for the procedure. https://t.co/OImAlO6kQm

@amybethsol This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing

[Celia Darrough Terrazas @celiadarrough]

I can’t get over this @marieclaire story about a clinic called Goals Plastic Surgery and its scary, shady practices. Several patients have died after procedures. The lack of regulation around this is mind-boggling. https://t.co/1K8VLxB1ei
