- write plain text files (2022) - derek sivers
- an essay on the benefits of doing all your writing (short and longform, private and public, words and code) in plain .txt, instead of in microsoft word or other commercial word processing programs
- 358/2 days and the experience of time (2017) - carol grant
- this essay is hard and anguishing if you relate to the experience it describes but that's what also makes it highly compelling. it's about depression, dante's inferno, and one of the lesser appreciated but more artistically cohesive kingdom hearts games
- the theory that men evolved to hunt and women evolved to gather is wrong (2023) - cara ocobock and sarah lacy
