India's education minister resigns in response to nationwide protests.
My next newsletter "Miscellanies: Satyagraha, songs, and a street dog named Declan" is coming Sunday. It's a dispatch from Delhi in the aftermath of the largest student-led protest since 1974. You can read it here. the-long-view-letters.kit.com
My next newsletter "Field Notes: Pluto, Odyssey, and Pining for Daddy" is coming today. The main reason I wrote this is to tell my brain - write even when no one's reading. But if you do read it - I'd be grateful. the-long-view-letters.kit.com

"Animals are not humans. Dear Reader, you might laugh. Everyone knows this. But in crafting animals for the page—even if you are working in an anthropomorphic context—the reminder is important." We love "Crafting Animals: Sense and Sensibility" by @mfrostwords.bsky.social and hope you will, too:
