SYSCA coffee table book? A collection of the newsletters, Bel chimes in and culture vulture essays... I would 100% buy one of these and also buy it for all my friends 💖💅🏼

Omg, that quote: "But also, as any good educator, lifelong learner, and equitable academic knows... if you can't communicate information in a manner that the person with the least knowledge has, then you didn't communicate the information well." Yes! This needs to be sent to everyone... thank you for this article, although I'm hesitant about some print media not being unbiased.

I love this! I'm hesitant to pick up newspapers here in Aus, with Rupert Murdoch owning so much of our media it all has such a right wing slant that it's rage inducing to read. I would very much like to find a newspaper that is reputable and that I enjoy reading because I do think it's super important.

as the owner/editor/reporter of a small weekly newspaper that is still delivered in hard copy, free, to our local community - THIS!

I'll now be changing my newspaper description to "a boundaried digest of stories that won’t leave you feeling like shit" - thanks SYSCA x

I love the feel, the texture, the smell of newsprint. I have subscribed to three papers, delivered daily, for four decades. These are an invaluable compliment to those I read online and often a critical source of facts otherwise unreported on. More is always better to determine truth. And physical newspapers go great with my morning coffee!

Bro the PUZZLES I spend hours in front of the paper at my parents’ house reading the articles and doing the puzzles (code cracker is the best, fight me) and just having the slowest morning, and before I know it it’s 2pm 🥰
