This is one of my favorites, it's an interactive reading experience sort of, but it works on mobile as well as desktop and it is really not what the title makes it sound like. It's quite an amazing read. Maybe a little too long for this place but thought I'd share! Let me know if you like it! There's a sequel as well!

The “forgotten lawn” is my favorite part of this. Jon Bois has a ton of incredible content, his The Search for the Saddest Punt in The World (part of his Chart Party series) is also good even if you don’t care about 🏈

What’s the sequel called?
