During last year’s NFL season, Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes were thick as thieves as the two were often spotted at Kansas City Chiefs games, sending angry conservative men into a frothing white rage because how dare football be interrupted for two seconds of women having fun?

In the past week, she’s already managed to triple down on her true MAGA colors. This presents a problem because Swift endorsed Biden during the 2020 election and will most likely do the same for Kamala Harris.

Frogbandocto leaned into her academic roots to sing the praises of two novellas, Boulder by Eva Baltasar (translated by Julia Sanches) and Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan. “The books are sparse but forceful, and I may finally understand the hype for minimalism.” Do you have any short fiction recommendations?
