My new 2026 subscription, the mighty High Country News. Longtime rss lurker but I'm happier to support in depth longform intermountain journalism and have it in print around the house.

The first issue featuring Portland's Albina music history is a tad on the nose, has me all squared up.

Fascinating video and article about kangaroo rats. Their fast reaction times, superb hearing and kicking skills means that they survive a majority of snake attacks.
