May showed up with a little attitude, and apparently you were here for it. The snarkiest post on my entire site claimed the #1 spot this month, which feels both poetic and hilarious. And tucked among May’s top reads is one of my cornerstone pieces, quietly doing its faithful work in the background.
This month’s Top 10 is a blend of critique, courage, creativity, Kentucky history, grammar, and a deeply moving film review that rounds out the list with heart. If you missed any of these along the way, consider this your personal highlight reel.
