A war correspondent's open notebook, reporting live from Kyiv. Compelling human stories that illustrate what’s happening during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and elsewhere on the frontlines for democracy. Issues twice a week!
This on-the-ground reporting from Ukraine (and sometimes Taiwan, and sometimes Syria...) is wide-reaching, humane, well-written, and includes the dogs and cats of war, a little reminder in every installment that all living things are impacted by war. Subscribe and support with $, so they can keep doing this vital work.

Brian writes about poems he reads that tap into the dark and funny (yes both at the same time) corners of his soul.
Observations and opinions on photography. Deep dives into the many ways of seeing. Viewer discretion is advised.
I'm learning a lot about professional photography and the lives of photographers who work in warzones or create portraits of presidents or who happen to be in the right place at the right time.
