For @NewYorker I wrote about the catacombs under Odesa, and the band of urban explorers who have volunteered to help prepare the city’s subterranean defenses. https://t.co/DXPSaqkuUD
Over the moon to be named a 2025 New America Fellow! A book like BONES — which requires slow, deep, international reporting — simply couldn’t exist without support of organizations like @NewAmerica. Thank you!
#2025NAFellow @willhunt_ is an author & journalist who writes on cultural heritage, humanity & connection. His work has been featured in @NewYorker, & @TheAtlantic. His book BONES will focus on the power of the ancestral dead to shape culture & politics. https://t.co/2V8miuFOTi

I wrote about the tradition of "telling the bees," which calls for a beekeeper to inform their bees of a death in the family. Royal Beekeepers, sacred bee dances, the Mysteries of Demeter, and how we send love to our dead. (Shouts out to @PioneerWorks_ and @jellyschapiro)
“In cultures all over the world, bees were regarded as the winged couriers to the otherworld—to send a message to the dead, one told the bees.” New on #PWBroadcast: @willhunt__ on “telling the bees.” https://t.co/UkMQLBOkZe
