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

@DmanofUES @river_is_nice I’m assuming you’re a bot - if not, the depth of your knowledge here is… probably best kept to yourself

[Will Hunt @willhunt__]

@ChrisVizzini @river_is_nice Can bots get tattoos?

@NFL_DovKleiman In any case, clear roughing the passer…

@CaukasianX @cryptodaaddy @nicksortor Man that is a REACH. I was hoping for your sake that you were a bot, but it seems like you might be human?

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!

I have breached the gates of NYC media Valhalla: @MelissaClark's recipe newsletter in @nytcooking

[Pioneer Works @PioneerWorks_]

“Out of all the insects, bees might be the most relatable.” Read the latest @nytcooking newsletter from @MelissaClark, featuring @willhunt__’s recent #PWBroadcast piece “Telling the Bees.”

[Will Hunt @willhunt__]

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)

[Pioneer Works @PioneerWorks_]

“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
