USAdopt website launches
The USAdopt website has been launched. USAdopt fills an ecological niche that was astonishingly vacant: an organization that calmly, warmly, and professionally, helps people navigate the confusing domestic adoption process. Founder and CEO Amanda Grant was inspired by her own (ultimately happy) quest to become a parent. Her personal experience, coupled with her career as…

Popcorn Noir
Popcorn Noir is our kind of project. Motivated by love of film and community, it’s an exciting example of a crazy idea brought to life, and one sure to become a fixture.

New Photos: The Mighty Women of Yashpirt
Near the Pakistan–China border, the Batura Glacier laps at the immense Karakorum mountains like a cat’s tongue. The only way up the glacier is a trail blazed by the women of Passu. Every spring, while the men stick to their town jobs and fields, these women, some of them very old, drive herds of…
New Addition to the Photos Section: Signage from a Pashtun Deadwood
My bus bumps past Mad Max-style homes, like Super 8 motels behind medieval walls, down a road covered in ornate signs. This is Der’a Adam Khel, a town by the Afghan border in Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier, devoted to the manufacture of counterfeit firearms, where men labor with hand tools to craft knock-off weaponry for the…
