What Nobody Tells You About Breast Cancer: The poet Anne Boyer lays bare the brutal realities in a Pulitzer Prize-winning book about her life with the disease that I write about in my latest story @medium.

Boyer's experiences, including a "drive-by" double mastectomy in her 40s, lead her to condemn the moral and other failures of the cancer establishment.

Having the joke explained to you will never be as funny as getting it.

Which is what happens when we borrow interest, instead of doing our own identity work.

It's what's happened with Scarlett Johansson and OpenAi. Bette Midler and Ford. Tom Waits and Frito-Lay. The list will go on.

More on borrowed interest and the enshittification of everything:

Major publishers sent me hundreds of baseball books when I was the book critic for Glamour and later for Ohio's largest newspaper. I praise five that made it into my Hall of Fame at one of my favorite @medium publications, Beyond the Scoreboard.

Among them: Jim Bouton's inside-baseball classic, "Ball Four," and Kadir Nelson's "We Are the Ship," an award-winning celebration of the old Negro leagues:

For some reason, I’m getting @medium notifications really late. Like hours and hours late. #medium

You seldom see strong fashion stories on @medium (a shame IMO, because we all wear clothes and they say so much about us). But the young Medium writer Jee Young Park show how well they can work in this story that defends the controversial 2024 MetGala by showing how much she valued the museum as a Korean-American growing up in New Jersey:

Why I prefer reading #GhostBlog blogs to #Medium and am looking forward to their #ActivityPub networking. I'm not sure if Medium authors remember this is the first impression that many of their blogs will see-- a good part of the page covered with a popover.
