| 1641392696261484546 | My #longform piece reconstructing the 1999 ฤฐzmit quake. It changed the way Turkish society looks at their state & the world, & helped create a modern civil society, yet lessons were ignored. Thanks to @iremxyd @BaharTopcu_ @akgungor_c @gonultol @DenizAltinay #longreads @Longreads https://t.co/0DoSRBGRTN | 14 |
| 1639429446955352065 | Glad to share that my recent reporting for @thebafflermag - a long, on-the-ground, reported piece on mining corruption, militarism, and murders of land and water defenders in Honduras - got featured as an Editors Pick for @Longreads yesterday https://t.co/QSLPuM80jc | 13 |
| 1638931862847455233 | I'll admit that I didn't know who Brandon Sanderson was before reading @jkehe's profile, but I promise you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll definitely rethink your relationship to Hugh Jackman in The Greatest Showman. @Longreads https://t.co/w2g2l18RqM | 6 |
| 1638201391943675904 | โJimi Hendrix never even stepped foot in that fโking place.โ @AlexShultz goes deep down the purple hazed rabbit hole to answer one single question: Did Jimi Hendrix ACTUALLY ever live in the Jimi Hendrix Red House? Such a cool story. @Longreads https://t.co/ZpbGL2ifHI | 4 |
| 1639329858000912395 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED This is one of the most poorly written articles I've ever read. The author's insistence on inserting themselves & their story into the piece is insanely annoying. It feels like they could have stayed with Sanderson for months & obtained nothing because they're a bad interviewer. | 3 |
| 1638679382112849922 | @vanessapamela Since we're going there, here's one I wrote for @longreads. Juxtaposing race, ballet and bras. https://t.co/wrHpETiRKU | 3 |
| 1640030234207461379 | Some incredible reporting in this piece from @jolson321 in @thebafflermag, featured in @Longreads. A detailed look at the corrupt mining practices in Honduras, and the violent suppression of environmental protestors. A must-read! https://t.co/ztW1FbT8vQ | 3 |
| 1641215684817440768 | Many thanks to @longreads and @wells_ca for this editorsโ pick https://t.co/Q7aZ3vl1HN https://t.co/8zj7AUZgSZ | 3 |
| 1641458269481738240 | Humbled and thankful to the good people at @Longreads for featuring an excerpt from my new book. Give it a read, if you can. And, perhaps, a purchase. https://t.co/i8CkIHVmxj | 3 |
| 1639319805860921344 | very grateful for this nice highlight from the good people of @Longreads because I am physically incapable of producing short reads https://t.co/9mJ64L7KB2 | 3 |

| 1639310450184667149 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED Do we feel that this is proper journalism? Because the dude isn't doing much beyond bullying a nice guy for being a successful fantasy author. Is this what you want to be promoting? | 405 |
| 1639293833610424321 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED Just because you hate the fact you got stuck writing for a two-bit click-bait web publication doesnโt mean you need to go around tearing down real authors who are living their dream. Itโs very unbecoming Jason | 404 |
| 1639289202033537026 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED Unfortunately, no. The Wired profile by Kehe failed on every single level. Didn't work as a "philosophical essay" and certainly didn't capture why people love Sanderson so much, it simply too every opportunity it could to insult and demean the man and his readers. | 316 |
| 1639291156000387078 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED This article honestly felt fairly sinister. If the premise the article was to discuss Sanderson through the lens of not being a good writer; it would be interesting..but this felt divergent from journalism, and went into painting personal things in the worst possible light. | 213 |
| 1639335226504790017 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED @jkehe this is legitimately awful and you should feel bad. There's no way every single criticism you levy at Sanderson doesn't also apply to you but moreso? Hypocrisy doesn't even touch this. | 211 |
| 1639329858000912395 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED This is one of the most poorly written articles I've ever read.

| 1639688051302584322 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED tell yourself whatever you want but youโre a bully. instead of creating a profile of a writer you held up the mirror to yourself. itโs not pretty. | 188 |
| 1639296579118174209 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED This is without a doubt the worst bit of "journalism" I've ever had the displeasure of slugging through in regards to writing and authors. @WIRED should be embarrassed to have @jkehe as an employee. Good Riddance | 155 |
| 1639366624317943808 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED And @jkehe failed miserably at that quest. Bitter, mean, deceitful trash. Enjoy the 15 mins of fame this bought you because I donโt see how anyone would ever agree to be interviewed by you again. | 145 |
| 1639345049568972800 | @Longreads @jkehe @provenself @WIRED The only thing @jkehe tried to capture from this story was attention. What a pathetic attack piece posing as a profile, and I'm not even a Sanderson fan. | 143 |
