I have an uneasy relationship with summer. I love that I shift to a more laid-back way of life, and that I can take more time to explore. I hate the heat and how it stifles both my body and creativity, making me feel incredibly unproductive. I’ve lived in Southern California my entire life, and every summer is a shock. So it goes.

Here’s what I read this week:

1. The author’s dad’s relationship with classic literature, specifically that of the Brontës.

2. The bullet journal in the world of iPhones.

3. Consider the archive of the Internet, and who decides what gets to stay.

4. The military origins of the cardigan.

5. Judith Butler.

And a bonus: “I must be a mermaid… I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.”

Have a beautiful weekend.
