Medium Reading Lists by Emily

Number 2

There has been a lot of talk on Medium lately about beating the listicles and the self-help guff and working towards getting truly good writing to rise to the top.

I think one way of accomplishing this is for people to share pieces they think are worthy of more attention. To facilitate this, I’m putting together reading lists with some of the hidden treasures I’ve found.

Here are some I’ve found over the last few days:

  1. They Survived War, Now These Women Are Organizing, Educating and Healing by Blink

Leonora Baumann on photographing mothers and children in the Democratic Republic of Congomedium.com

2. The futility of battling a narcissist by Brenton Eckersley

3. Mourning the Unmournable by Farah Colette

Mourning the Unmournable.

4. She rescued me by Randomly Me

She rescued me.

Also, a shout out to Solitary Cook, who consistently recommends good stuff.

And if you haven’t seen it already, here is the first reading list I put together.
