Jenny Zhang wrote an essay about the recent scandal featuring a white author who used a fake Asian name to get published. It’s a powerful piece and I really can’t do it justice, but I’ve posted my favorite excerpts below, with minimal…

The Atlantic had a great article on how some captions, some how, manage to work for every single New Yorker cartoon. There was a new great one thought up recently, “Hi, I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.” It even…
