FlipboardLast of all, Atlas Obscura’s story about a giant almond that’s driving its way around America, and the uniquely American habit of making massive food vehicles, which <a href="https://flipboard.social/@CultureDesk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@CultureDesk</a> shared earlier this week.

Flipboard<a href="https://mas.to/@thecontinent" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@thecontinent</a> has a guest post this week from the Harare Review of Books. Here’s a review of Freda Epum’s memoir, “The Gloomy Girl Variety Show,” a book about the Nigerian-American writer and artists’s search for belonging in Tucson, Arizona. “Epum may call herself a gloomy girl, but she is cool to hang out with in these pages. Her memoir is lively, sometimes sad, and always vulnerable. And she is upbeat, if somewhat wry. It’s a raw, beautiful and deep work,” the review concludes. <a href="https://continent.substack.com/p/review-gloom-to-manoeuvre" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://continent.substack.com/p/review-gloom-to-manoeuvre</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Nigeria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nigeria</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Tucson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tucson</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Arizona</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Memoirs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Memoirs</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Newstodon</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NewstodonFriday</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a>

FlipboardPostal services in some areas of the USA are unreliable, so it makes sense to have a grace period when it comes to returning election ballots — at least, that’s been the case for a number of years in around half of the states across the political spectrum. <a href="https://journa.host/@bolts" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bolts</a> reports on how that’s changing. “This past March alone brought news that two states … will repeal their grace periods; that conservative federal judges are on the brink of killing grace periods in two other states; and that Trump, who for years has falsely alleged rampant mail-voting fraud, wants to pressure the rest of the nation to reject every mail ballot that arrives after polls close,” writes Alex Burness. <a href="https://boltsmag.org/restrictions-on-grace-periods-for-mail-ballots/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://boltsmag.org/restrictions-on-grace-periods-for-mail-ballots/</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Voting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Voting</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/VoterSuppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VoterSuppression</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ELections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ELections</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/USElections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USElections</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Newstodon</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NewstodonFriday</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a>
