It’s been almost two years since I read a line from a lawsuit that would spiral into a story so much bigger than I could ever imagine. It’s a story about BBLs, but it’s also a story about power, social media& a system that preys on our every insecurity: trib.al/qbm2nV4

Thank you to @PeterCarbonara and @dianeharris for the best editorial guidance on this!

For @Newsweek , I dove into the wild world of legal sports betting and what this rapid expansion could mean for the U.S. newsweek.com/2023/04/07/spo…

Last week's essay is the 2nd @95gunn has written for OA. Her #lettertoastranger, "To the Swimmer in the Borneo Rainforest," reflects on the comfort of friendship when faced with danger, and was featured in Best American Travel Writing 2021. Read it here: offassignment.com/articles/megha…

Amen. When @OffAssignment puts out a story like this one, a thousand to-do lists of my recent past glow with worth. YES, @95gunn. How fully & deftly & unforgettably you sweep us to Alaska.

This @OffAssignment piece by Meghan Gunn is superb. Alaska, Post Malone, Silence...everything you want in an essay. Read it here: offassignment.com/undertheinflue…

.@postmalone echoes over Alaskan tundra. @95gunn watches over children left behind while adults go inland to fish for the winter. She also finds rising seas, kids who grow up too fast, & a new form of speech. Read this stunning "Under the Influence" essay: offassignment.com/undertheinflue…

"The drug has significant risks, including bleeding & brain swelling. Eisai estimates the annual price of treatment would be somewhere between $9,249 & $35,605 & the drug has only a modest effect on the debilitating progress of Alzheimer's" @ProfRobHoward @pash22 @gregggonsalves

This week, we're reading a meditative review by @emilydingwrites of @Tim_Hannigan's "Travel Writing Tribe;" a philosophical treatise on astonishment by @timmtriplett; and an investigation by @95gunn about deadly plastic surgery. These & more: mailchi.mp/offassignment/…

Slick Instagram ads promised the perfect figure at a great price. But for these women, their Brazilian Butt Lift dreams turned into a life-threatening nightmare. More from @95gunn's yearlong investigation into the world of discount BBLs: twitter.com/i/events/15544…

When Tyesha Washington made her way into an unfinished basement below the glitzy lobby of Goals Plastic Surgery, she was told to swallow a handful of Xanax and Percocet before undergoing her BBL. The pills would render her numb—but awake—for the procedure. trib.al/hmeZzjR

"The BBL is the fastest-growing cosmetic procedure in the world. Last year, 61,387 butt augmentations...were performed in the U.S." | Chilling story on the dangers of #BBL surgery for @marieclaire by @litrep_nyu alum @95gunn buff.ly/3oOTUnY #cosmeticsurgery

@amybethsol This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing

My partner celebrated 5 years sober this week and I wrote a little piece about it and it’s in my fave newsletter The Small Bow today!! thesmallbow.com/features/ihow-…

I can’t get over this @marieclaire story about a clinic called Goals Plastic Surgery and its scary, shady practices. Several patients have died after procedures. The lack of regulation around this is mind-boggling. marieclaire.com/culture/goals-…
