“If you go to Italy, you must try the _______,” gushes your just-got-back-from-Italy friend. As if it were ever that simple. In Italy, there are 20 different regions, hundreds of regional dialects, and at least 350 kinds of pasta. And that’s just the pasta shapes, not the pasta sauce. The culture of the country, and especially its cuisine, is anything but monolithic. That’s why proclaiming a single “must-try” dish in Italy isn’t just impossible, it’s misguided. I’d never recommend you order pesto in Puglia any more than I’d recommend you order handmade orecchiette in Liguria. Not because you won’t find…

By 12, she was dancing at private parties at 12, and by 17, she had turned to sex work. Shagufta lived a traumatic life until she met Mahesh Bhatt, and turned her pain into poetry. It was almost as if she was a character from one…

But how and when this capacity originated is somewhat mysterious. It’s not like the emergence of human communication is visible in the fossil record — there are no…

Cara gathers a group of OAS’s volunteers and adaptive athletes at Crux Fermentation Project, for a communal sunset. Dogs—including her own deaf pup—outnumbered people. I met Ryan Barbee, an adaptive mountain biker and fellow spinal cord injury survivor who had, like Cara, also moved to Bend because of how free it made her feel. She greeted me with trail dust on her wheels and a pint in hand. “The first thing you need to know about Bend is the community,” she said, gesturing to the crowd, where wheelchairs and mountain bikes blended in. “And OAS is the heartbeat of it.”The…
