Good morning, friends! Yr pal al here, and I am SO pumped for you to hear the start to our Attica series that’s now out! It’s an interesting and infuriating part of history that a lot of us don’t know much about, so I’m telling you all about it.
Here’s a map of Attica that’ll make it easier to visualize the place. That site (here) has a ton of photos and info. Just warning you though, there are photos of dead bodies peppered throughout the site. The map link is safe, though.
On a lighter note, read to the end for a really big bird.

It would rule if you’d forward this along to anyone who might dig our podcast. New episodes are out every Monday, plus Untethered minisodes on (most) Wednesdays, and we’re on all the podcast platforms like Apple Podcasts + Spotify + Castbox + Google Podcasts.
We have merch! Get yours here. We have hoodies, sweatshirts, tshirts, tank tops, hats, mug, sticker.
If you have any feedback or ideas you want to hear us cover, or if you just want to say hi, you can reply to this email and it’ll come straight to us. We’re also on:
email + tiktok + youtube + twitter + instagram + facebook group + read with tether facebook group — next book is Lexicon by Max Barry. Discussion date to be determined.

This week’s Untethered sources:
(Since the main episodes for now are mostly just based on Blood in the Water by Heather Ann Thompson, I’m throwing the Untethered links in the newsletter to tide y’all over.)

Other things:
If you’d like an explainer on the Kendrick Lamar/Drake beef, this one from Defector is a good one, I’m being told. There are too many funny tweets about it for me to even start to link them.
What it’s like to weigh a penguin.
Photos of people selling mirrors always rule.
So we’re all having the exact same experience at our dentist?

Thanks for reading & listening!
