Hello, Twittersphere! Sorry about Elon Musk. Just wanted to let you know that I started a Substack. I don't understand if the links work or not, but it’s called The Elif Life. You can find it at eliflife dot Substack dot com. Thank you!

1. I really dug this story "Missing" by Hiromi Kawakami. 2. Additionally, it made me really want a "pipe fox." 3. "Pipe foxes" are a thing. (Hiromi Kawakami: pushkinpress.com/product/record… ; Pipe foxes: pushkinpress.com/product/record…)

Where is my pipe fox?

Omg this list!!! This is such an honor, #WomensPrize - thank you! x.com/WomensPrize/st…

Unrelatedly, sometimes when I am feeling sad I just remember that there is a character in The Golden Bowl named Fanny Assingham.

Now I am going to go hide in the wilderness and avoid social media. I will periodically update the News page on my website - just like I think this bear (or his publicist) probably does. Elif's news: elifbatuman.com/news/ Bear photo source: bearstudy.org/website/update…
