Hey, this is a good idea!

How to share a link, or a thing you read, or a project you're working on & think Understandably readers might like. Plus, 3 of my favorite stories so far ... and 7 other things worth your time.

It’s Friday! And I have an idea. Let’s talk about stories.

I’m going to share a few favorite and popular stories from the last year or two below—quick intros with links, so you can go back and read them if you missed them.

But I also spent an hour or two putting together a new way for readers (well, anyone, really) to suggest other stories that you think Understandably should include, or link to, etc.

The truth is, a lot of you do this already—but the sheer volume, along with the fact that it mostly just comes in as emails alongside everything else, overwhelms me. Then I feel bad (and frustrated) for having missed some good things or given the impression I wasn’t interested.

Sometimes I was interested! Often, even! I just can’t keep track of it all.

This should make doing so a bit easier. So if you have …

• a link you think we should consider for “7 other things,”

• or a story you read somewhere that you think would make a great starting point for a newsletter,

• or something that you’re working…
