TLDS September Culture Klatsch

Welcome back to Culture Club, a feature where David and I write about what we’ve been reading, watching, playing, and listening to, for paid subscribers....

I personally have never felt comfortable writing without an editor -- might as well skydive parachuteless -- and I'm so grateful to have @davidswanson.bsky.social as my creative partner & share the meager proceeds of our labors. He's just the best-- brilliant at restructuring and a damn good friend.
