The Golden Girls, but in a Camp Cabin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At Camp Social, where grown women return to girlhood, friendship has no preamble. Within 15 minutes of meeting eight of the campers from Cabin 3, I learned this: In their 50s and 60s, they have no use for the menstrual discs in the camp swag bag; one of them found online dating so depressing after her divorce that she’s given up entirely; when they laugh, they pee a little; they feel like they’ve known one another for years, even though most of them met last night. The campers signed up for this
America’s Rural Lands Are Burning (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The summer of 2026 has been one of extraordinary fires. In Europe, they have burned hundreds of thousands of acres in France and Spain and destroyed homes across England; they killed 13 people in Spain last month, and an elderly couple in Greece this weekend. In Canada, fires have consumed an expanse of forestland larger than Belgium—which is also battling its biggest recorded wildfire. In the United States, about 7.2 million acres have burned, the largest year-to-date area in the past decade an
Our Last Wi-Fi-Less Refuge Is Gone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This article was featured in the One Story to Read Today newsletter. Sign up for it here. Until very recently, airplanes were one of the last places where you couldn’t count on having good Wi-Fi.

In June, Unit
Just Ask the Dinosaurs How Bad Air Quality Can Get (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The air quality this week is bad. Smoke from Canadian wildfires has turned the sky orange in Philadelphia. It has veiled the Statue of Liberty in Manhattan. In Detroit, which has dealt with some of the worst conditions in the country, the smoke has almost entirely blurred the city’s skyline. The eastern United States isn’t exactly accustomed to smoke days, which can prompt someone like me, from the wildfire-prone West, to brag about how they’ve seen far worse. But those smoke days are nothing co
The Newest Way to Go Analog (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the iPod Nano was first released, in 2005, it cost $199 and was sold on the promise of limitlessness. This year, Celeste Stange bought her magenta 8-gigabyte model on eBay for $69 and the exact opposite reason. Every time she’d pick a song on Spotify to stream, she’d think about the millions of other songs she could listen to instead and get paralyzed by musical FOMO, she told me. “Now I only have what’s on here.” Stange, who is 29, is part of a recent “analog” movement in which people—usua
