Taylor Swift’s ode to joy
In today’s “Why We Wrote This” podcast, we look at the astonishing success of
Taylor Swift. She is authentic. She is generous. She is the queen of unabashed,
exuberant girlhood. But you only need to look at some of the other stories in
today’s issue to see another reason. From Gaza to Argentina to the COP28 climate
summit, the world seems to be nothing but uncertainty and doubt. Of course, the
world has ever been thus. But amid social media feeds and toxic politics, there
is a weariness to the world that feels different and unyielding. Into this gloom
comes the sequin-bright smile of Ms. Swift, as well as the love and community
her concerts inspire. It is the opposite of escapism. It is a note of the song
we all sing, the chords of sincerity and joy shared by every human heart.

THE CLIMATE GENERATION: BORN INTO CRISIS, BUILDING SOLUTIONS
Climate change is shaping a mindset revolution—powerfully driving innovation and
progress. And young people are leading the transformation. This special series
focuses on the roles of those born since 1989, when recognition of children's
rights and the spike of global temperatures began to intersect. The stories
include vivid Monitor photography, and are written from Indigenous Northern
Canada, Bangladesh, Namibia, Barbados, and the United States.

REPARATIONS DEBATE: MENDING THE PAST, FORGING THE FUTURE
What does it mean for a society to atone for systemic and enduring harms?
California is the first U.S. state to propose reparations for many Black
residents. Communities across the country are watching closely. But questions of
restoration and reconciliation aren’t exclusive to Black Americans – or to the
United States. This special series explores efforts around the world to seek
justice and restitution for communities subjected to historical harms.
