  • Link Party: 4/10-4/14

    I realized yesterday I haven’t written an actual post beyond Link Parties in a very long time — in May, I’m hoping to fix that. I miss writing for myself and this blog, but I need to get on top of some other professional work that’s starting to get overwhelming. Thank you for reading, even when…

  • Link Party: 4/3-4/7

    Here’s what I’ve read lately: 1. A writer asked Tony Hawk to teach her how to ollie. The story and the video are delightful. 2. Kirsten Gillibrand, profiled by Rebecca Traister. 3. This story about how a beloved Hollywood home was relocated to Canada is incredible. 4. The past lives of Shirley MacLaine. 5. A…

  • Link Party: 3/27-3/31

    March was a marathon month, and I suspect the next 30 days are going to feel like a sprint. I kickstarted April with a day trip in and around the desert: a wildflower walk, a mirrored house art installation and the best milkshakes. April, here I come — no bad days. Here’s what I’ve read…

  • Link Party: 3/20-3/24

      This week I got promoted (!) and spent much of my work time planning a few projects that are not only going to make a positive difference in many students’ experiences, but make me feel more creatively fulfilled than ever before. I know that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Here’s what I’ve ready lately: 1.…

  • Link Party: 3/13-3/17

    Here’s what I’ve read lately: 1. Trump and the White House press corps. 2. It’s pretty morbid, but this article about the plan for when Elizabeth II dies is f a s c i n a t i n g. 3. The Democrats are the new party of no. 4. Cher‘s era. 5. An excerpt…

  • Link Party: 3/6-3/10

    Here’s what I’ve read lately: 1. Margaret Atwood on The Handmaid’s Tale. (Thank you to Abi for the recommendation.) 2. This story about a food-service director in the unhealthiest city in America and how she revolutionized her students’ school lunches made me tear up — no child deserves to go without lunch, and the current political climate is…

  • Link Party: 2/27-3/3

    I had a pretty good weekend, and I’m looking out at a week of hard work, hangouts and hopefully a superbloom. Not too bad, Zo. Not too bad. Here’s what I’ve read lately: 1. Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s workout routine is hardcore. 2. This story about the Bahia emerald and its curse is a wild ride from start to…

  • Link Party: 2/20-2/24

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. The rise of Roxane Gay. 2. Janet Mock brilliantly articulates why the federal government should protect trans rights. 3. Inside the diversity shakeup at the Oscars. (I hadn’t really thought about it, but it’s unsurprising to know that the behind-the-scenes lobbying and strategizing is very suspect.) 4. The nostalgia…

  • Link Party: 2/13-2/17

    Here’s something I want to share that recently came back to me — in an episode of Twin Peaks (side note: I have a soft spot for this show and I hope the revival isn’t garbage), FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper gives the Twin Peaks sheriff, Harry Truman, a solid gold piece of advice. “Harry, I’m going…

  • Link Party: 2/6-2/10

    I had a good week, and I hope you did too. Here’s what I read: 1.  This article about how the media treats leaks is good on its own, but I want to point out a sentence that contextualized John Podesta’s emails in an eye-opening way, at least for me: “the conversation around the emails became…
