  • Link Party: 8/29-9/9

    Hi! Long time no see. It’s really only been about two weeks, but it feels like a really long time to me. In those two weeks, my work/freelance/personal lives consumed me and I got a cold that kicked my ass. I’ve kind of been on the Internet, but not in a particularly mindful way. But those…

  • Link Party: 3/14-3/25

    I spent an extra-long weekend in Seattle last week, so I didn’t have much time to read on the Internet / compile a roundup before I left on Thursday. That means that this week you get double the links, which also means double the partying. Here’s what I’ve read lately: 1. Kinfolk and the hipster aesthetic. 2.…

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. An abridged history of red lipstick. 2. I did not know that private, off-the-record briefings between Barack Obama and media members were a thing, but now I’m glad I do. 3. The parallels between web design and architecture. 4.

  • Link Party: 12/7-12/11

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. Author Jhumpa Lahiri shares her beautiful story of learning Italian. 2. Star Wars: The Merch Awakens. (I love this headline a lot.) 3.

    1. This is a magnum opus on selfies. If you only have time to read one thing in this week’s party, make it this. 2. This article really makes me miss video stores as a cultural institution. Netflix is really and truly The Worst. 3. The history of the siren on Starbucks cups. 4. The phenomenon of…

  • Link Party: 10/19-10/23

    Although I’ve had a difficult time transitioning to a post-grad life over the last few months, I’ve had some really sweet moments this week that make me excited about my fledgling career and how many opportunities there are to grow. I’ve also had some frustrating moments this week where I’ve wondered what I’ve gotten myself…

  • Link Party: 10/12-10/16

    Sorry for the late post this week.
