Jane Towler was up late in a small cabin along the Guadalupe River as thunder boomed through a thrashing rain. It was 4 a.m. and water was pooling on the floor. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was her friend from a nearby cabin. “Jane, we’re f—ed!” Brian Keeper said frantically. “The water’s in my house! Get out!” Towler’s grandfather bought the property in Texas Hill Country in the 1930s, and she’s lived through many floods in her 70 years, losing…See the Story

I t’s the morning of August 22, 2019, and I’m in a Zodiac bouncing along the waters of the St. Lawrence River. It can hold six divers and all their gear, but this morning, there are only six of us—no gear. Far from being divers, we are curiosity seekers from New York, Vancouver, London, and Montreal, all obsessed with the sinking of the Empress of Ireland, which claimed 1,014 lives in 1914. Until a few years ago, I had never heard of the Empress…Saint John, New Brunswick · Saint John See the Story

The Menagerie Lurking in Rural America

Sam Myers explores the depressingly common practice of rural US exotic pet auctions, which offer a diverse range of animals, including kangaroos, zebras, foxes, and reptiles. These animals require specialized care—obviously—which is often not provided at their new homes in America’s heartland. While some animals are regulated, many are not, and Myers spotlights a tragically under‐examined wildlife marketplace. I was in town for the same reason …Zanesville · Zanesville Read Article

At 40, She Discovered She Was One of America’s Best Free Divers

Sara Burnett started free diving in July, 2023, at age 39. She entered her first competition on a lark and reached a very respectable depth of 65 meters, which spurred a judge to encourage her to try out for the US women’s team. Burnett did—also on a lark—and made it. As Lauren Larson reports for Texas Monthly, Burnett went from free diving curious to competing at the world level in an exceptionally short period of time. In slowly building up t…Texas, United States · Texas Read Article

The Tree of Life Is Falling Down

“You won’t find the Tree of Life in a proper guidebook, or a scholarly history of the Olympic Peninsula” writes Allison Williams. “You’ll see it on Facebook, on Instagram, or maybe a TikTok video filmed under tree roots that dangle in the air.” This feature, originally published in the winter 2023 issue of Seattle Met, celebrates a Sitka spruce tree that has become one of the Olympic Peninsula’s most popular attractions. It sits on a bluff—altho…Washington State · Washington Read Article

My Best Friend's Murder Was a Tabloid Circus. Now, I'm Looking for the Truth.

Mary Jane Gibson’s account of Nicole DuFresne’s murder is a sharp critique of the ways in which media coverage can expand the blast radius of violent crime. In her memoir for Rolling Stone, Gibson spends little time on the murder itself; she is clear about the limits of her “scattershot version” of the night, in which she and DuFresne were ambushed by seven young people, most of them teenagers. Instead, she tallies the complex dynamics that shap…New York City · New York Read Article
