How I Solved the Century-Old Mystery of a Miraculous Shipwreck Survivor

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…See the Story

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…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

When the Hit Man Starts Talking

David Howard | The Atavist Magazine | June 2025 | 1,562 words (6 minutes) This is an excerpt from issue no. 164, “Conversations with a Hit Man.” The killer is happy to see us. That’s the first thing we notice when we spot Larry Thompson halfway across the visitation room of the David Wade Correctional Center. He rises from a chair and waves, his face unfurling into an avuncular grin. Our separate journeys to this prison in Homer, Louisiana—me fr…Shreveport · Shreveport 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

How “Cabin Porn” Took Over the Internet

In this short read, which is part of Dwell’s 25th anniversary package, Stassa Edwards recalls the 2010s internet—when “nearly every popular niche Tumblr blog was turned into a book”—and how Zach Klein’s escapist photographs at Cabin Porn helped fuel an off-the-grid cabin and tiny house phenomenon. (I can attest that this is true: At the end of 2013, Cabin Porn and other feeds like it inspired me and my husband to donate all of our belongings, mo…Internet · New York Read Article

Inside the Dollar General Workers’ Fight for Safety and Fair Pay

There are more Dollar Stores across the United States than any other chain. They vastly outnumber “Walmarts, CVS pharmacies, and McDonald’s across America.” They’ve been praised as the only option available in food deserts, but panned for low wages, poor working conditions, and as clearinghouses for cheap consumer goods that make them targets of crime. As Katie Jane Fernelius reports for Oxford American, some workers have had enough of Dollar Ge…New Orleans · New Orleans Read Article
