So many brilliant things; so many inane things. The possums article ruined me. I quote it regularly. I feel like it was in a back drawer somewhere and Ortberg thought, no, too weird, but once she announced the demise of the Toast figured, it’s here or nowhere.

I’m sad that the Toast is gone, but you (and everyone) should know about this wonderful article on emotional labor that they published:

You should have read more of The Toast. It was good.

Mallory is my spirit animal and the thought of anyone not reading the Toast makes me sad.
