Straight to the top from here. #WhiteSox

Pope Leo XIV 🤝 Chicago This #WhiteSox fan understood the assignment 👀

When you have a new Pope from your city, you get ordained, right? (Actually, I'm officiating a wedding in a couple of weeks, but this does feel appropriate today).

The new ep. of Writing Latinos, feat. Justin Torres, is one of my favorites. We tried something I've been wanting to do: read a short piece together and discuss. The Afro-Puerto Rican writer Jesús Colón's vignette, "Youth: The Palisades as a Backdrop" was perfect. Have a listen!

In Chicago, we're having a moment with Pope Leo XIV. But will it amount to more than that--a renewal of the church here? This was a fun one for me. newyorker.com/culture/the-le…
