From the editors: Managing editor Sarah Scullin’s “Why don’t people get that my angry diatribe against women in satire?” The class of RBG: the lives of Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s female classmates at Harvard Law; on David Brooks and the state of journalistic discourse; these biologically accurate miniature animal sculptures are smaller than your fingernail; being young and homeless during COVID-19; on AOC’s speech on the House floor; a doctor on how the police tried to force her to examine a Black patient against his will; the very British obsession with marmalade; how coronavirus is traveling down the Amazon river; the pandemic is not homeschooling’s moment; we do repeat our parents’ mistakes, but that’s ok.
