1. "We Need New Stories" by Sudanese writer Nesrine Malik.

It's an examination of America's foundational myths, and how they contribute to racism, sexism, bigotry, toxic masculinity, and nationalism in our country.

Published earlier this year, it's a complex look at critical race theory before the term became such a cultural hot potato.

I read that honey bees can recognize individual human faces. Now I know why I'm being buzzed when they run out of sugar water that I put out for the neighborhood hummingbirds.
