Khotin, "Baikal Acid"

Was last night the worst case of Sunday Dread you’ve had in a long time? You are not alone. The good news is it probably won’t be that bad again for a year. Which is not to say it won’t be bad, just not that bad. Eh, what are you going to do? Anyway, while you’re digging out and getting back into things you can listen to this, and if you’re looking for the occasional distraction you can dip into any of our year-end essays that you might have missed. Our gratitude and admiration go out to Carrie Frye, Rachel Monroe, Kevin Nguyen, Laura June, Lindsay Robertson, Bijan Stephen, Casey Johnston, Ryan Bradley, Rob Dubbin, Laur M. Jackson, Jia Tolentino, Jane Hu, Jenna Wortham, Emma Carmichael, Katie Notopoulos, Maria Bustillos, Paul Ford, Max Read, Leah Finnegan, Jazmine Hughes, Jacqui Shine, Rick Paulas, Helen Rosner, Dayna Evans, Bex Schwartz, Brian Feldman, Leah Reich, Johannah King-Slutzky, Jason Parham, Jo Livingstone, Matt Siegel, Silvia Killingsworth, Vinson Cunningham, Betsy Morais, Meghan McCarron, Cord Jefferson, Brendan O’Connor, and Maud Newton.
