The Best American Magazine WritingThis year's Best American Magazine Writing features outstanding writing on contentious issues including incarceration, policing, sexual assault, labor, technology, and environmental catastrophe.

This year's Best American Magazine Writing features outstanding writing on contentious issues including incarceration, policing, sexual assault, labor, technology, and environmental catastrophe. Selections include Paul Ford's ambitious "What Is Code?" (Bloomberg Businessweek), an innovative explanation of how programming works, and "The Really Big One," by Kathryn Schulz (The New Yorker), which exposes just how unprepared the Pacific Northwest is for a major earthquake. Joining them are Meaghan Winter's expos of crisis pregnancy centers (Cosmopolitan) and a chilling story of police prejudice that allowed a serial rapist to run free (the Marshall Project in partnership with ProPublica). Also included is Shane Smith's interview with Barack Obama about mass incarceration (Vice).

Other selections demonstrate a range of long-form styles and topics across print and digital publications. The imprisoned hacker and activist Barrett Brown pens hilarious dispatches from behind bars, including a scathing review of Jonathan Franzen's fiction (The Intercept). "The New American Slavery" (Buzzfeed) documents the pervasive exploitation of guest workers, and Luke Mogelson explores the purgatorial fate of an undocumented man sent back to Honduras (New York Times Magazine). Joshua Hammer harrowingly portrays Sierra Leone's worst Ebola ward as even the staff succumb to the disease (Matter). And in "The Friend," Matthew Teague's wife is afflicted with cancer, his friend moves in, and the result is a devastating narrative of relationships and death (Esquire). The collection concludes with Jenny Zhang's "How It Feels," an unconventional meditation on the intersection of teenage cruelty and art (Poetry).

I love that it's a dry-touch and that my face doesn't feel greasy all day. However, it almost dries too fast and it makes it harder to rub into your skin. I don't like feeling like I'm "tugging" on my face when I put it on.

good stuff
I like this sun block. It doesn't sting my eyes and it seems to be effective. I am out in the sun a lot and I don't burn with this on, so it must work. It's not greasy so I use it under make up.

Easy to apply, neutral smell, and lasts long
I usually hate sunscreen, but this brand is acceptable. It doesn't leave a terrible waxy feeling on your skin, and it's easy to apply on your face. Also, it doesn't have an overpowering smell, which is nice.

Dry-touch but still uncomfortable to wear
It didn't rub in like regular sunblock, I suppose because the of the 'dry-touch'. But I could still feel it on my skin and was a little bit itchy. If you continue to rub it actually kind of peels away-then obviously negating putting it on in the first place. :(
