Here, have a photo of a pretty tree I parked under this week. This is the extent of my photography these days, but I'm working on it.

Here’s what I read this week:

1. You might be a basic witch.

2. Baby Michel Foucault. (Side note: The Toast made me laugh a lot this week.)

3. Here’s another book to add to my very long list of books to read: “The Other Paris.”

4. The fascinating history of the midnight movie showing.

5. I’m so glad that there are business people who are still interested in print media. Case in point, Peter Barbey and the Village Voice. (Also, I am very upset about Grantland. It was a Link Party staple, and I miss it already.)

And a bonus: I have been thinking about this Vine for the past week. It is perfect.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Downtown L.A., y'all.
Downtown L.A., y’all.

Here’s what I read this week:

1. My favorite Mad Men series finale review.

2. Instagram is turning us all into sociopaths.

3. An inside look at Thought Catalog, which is a lot more terrible than I originally had thought or anticipated.

4. I gotta say, this article about online journalism is #duh.

5. I fully agree that there should be trigger warning on some things, but when you start slapping them all over classic literature you run into Problems.

And a bonus: Why Americans love road trips, courtesy of the wonderful PBS Idea Channel.

Have a great weekend!

Man, I am really going to miss this place.
Man, I am really going to miss this place.

I was actually really productive this week — must be the Week 2 recharge. Anyway, here’s what I read:

1. A four-in-one about how the restaurant business is reinventing food waste. My personal favorite is the photo essay about the aprons.

2. I also would like to attend the Audubon Society’s school for sick burns.

3. In light of two classes I’m taking on the subject (more about those classes later), a very good piece about the classroom and the discussion about racial violence.

4. Monograms are everything.

5. On why Columbia’s report on the Rolling Stone University of Virginia rape case article is actually not that great.

And a bonus: This list of English monarchs’ signatures ranked is A++.

Have a wonderful weekend!
