The Last: What a Year of Building Resilience Actually Looked Like (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The word edge comes from Old English, and it carries two meanings folded into one: the cutting side of a blade, and a point — a tip, a limit, a place where something ends. I find that distinction worth sitting with longer than we usually do. An edge is both a tool and a boundary. It’s the thing that can sever, and it’s also the place where something simply stops. We use the word constantly without touching either of its original meanings — I’m at the edge of something ; this is an edge for me to

Read excerpt
This episode, we’re going somewhere I’ve been wanting to go for a while. We’re going deep into culture — what it actually means, where the word comes from, how it has been used and misused and weaponized and reclaimed. And then, inevitably, we’re going somewhere personal: my own culture, my own mosaic, and what it means to be first-generation born in the United States with a whole lot of layered, tangled, beautiful, complicated inheritance. Start at the Root: What Does “Culture” Actually Mean? T
