I read Fatal Distraction about eight years ago and still think about it almost monthly. Changed my life.

I was waiting for the one about hot cars. I read it once. I think everyone should read it once. I’ll never read it again.

I rented a car that beeped if you opened the back door before driving and didn’t open it again when you locked the door. Like a reminder to check the backseat. Cars should have more of these safety precautions, for the safety of children and animals

I read the car one shortly before my first baby was born. It definitely convinced me that I could make this mistake, too, and I learned all the tricks to prevent it - leaving my bag in the backseat, special stuffed toy in the front seat, playing kids’ music until there were no kids in the car, always texting daycare when the kids weren’t coming so they would call if they hadn’t heard from me, etc.

My Volvo has a trigger that when my son is in the back seat, when I turn the car off, it beeps and tells me to check the backseat for anyone that may be sitting there.

Great list! If you want a palette cleanser, read “Inside the Rainbow Gulag” on Jezebel - a deep dive on the history of Lisa Frank. Nostalgic AND gossipy! It is such a fun read.

I read that article about Tim Piazza when it came out. I agree, an amazing piece, but I don’t want to read it again.

The Salt Lake Tribune did a two-part story about the man who got stuck exploring a cave called “Nutty Putty: ‘I really, really want to get out’” and it is so, so devastating.

I wish more people would approach difficult subjects with the incredible nuance and empathy Gene Weingarten did in Fatal Distraction.

I read the hot car article 10+ years before I had kids. it stuck with me then and I still think about it every time the weather changes from cold to even moderately warm.

Poor sweet Phoebe. There were so many people who loved her and wanted to take genuine care of her.

Fatal Distraction should be a mandatory read, also really reccomend GQ’s piece on the diaries of a high school football player with CTE

There was a great article called My Family had a Slave that was about a guys family who immigrated to the US and his parents brought over a lady to help be a nanny and essentially forced her to be their slave and didn’t pay her. Really interesting read

Fatal Distraction - I read that article when my first son had just been born and it HAUNTED me. I remember waking my husband up in the middle of the night to hash out a plan to make sure it never happened to us.
