Nuzzel Outtakes, 4/14/19

Nuzzel Outtakes

I read. Like, a LOT. Like, A LOT a lot. Anything that excites me, I save to my weekly Nuzzel newsletter, then agonize over which to keep and which to cut since Nuzzel only limits me to 10 articles. Just because I couldn't fit it in doesn't mean it isn't worth reading!

I've been thinking about you all week and hope you enjoy the newsletter as much as I enjoy creating it! If you want a little MOAR, the outtakes are below!

These are the narratives the media is latching onto already: https://www.wbur.org/news/2019/04/12/boston-marathon-things-to-note

LetsRun is controversial, but these pieces they put out every year, I really enjoy them.
