• Link Party: 1/23-1/27

    This was a really, really, really tough week on many levels. I hope that you’re taking care of yourself and working towards finding your own sense of balance. Do not feel guilty about taking breaks to do the things you enjoy. “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including…

  • Link Party: 12/12-12/16

    Here’s what I’ve read lately: 1. “My President Was Black,” by Ta-Nehisi Coates. This is essential reading. 2. I love Instagram poet Cleo Wade‘s posts. 3. The meme of the year was emails. 4. The history behind octopi wearing top hats. 5. The greatness of Teen Vogue. Have a great week.

  • Link Party: 10/29-11/20

    There hasn’t been much Link Partying around here lately. I need to fix that, and I promise to be more consistent in the last few weeks of 2016 and into 2017. Here’s a party to last you all week. Take your pick: 1. An interview with Frank Ocean. 2. Zadie Smith on the dancers that inspire…

  • 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…

  • Culture Connoisseur: What I Read In Print

    One of my favorite feelings comes about like this — I arrive home after a long day at work, look through the pile of mail on the dining room table and see a new issue of a magazine addressed to me. I love the accessibility that the Internet gives me when it comes to reading…

  • Link Party: 8/8-8/12

    I spent the whole weekend in Los Angeles (Saturday: Santa Monica and Malibu; Sunday: Arts District + Downtown + the Eastside). I have zero regrets. Here’s what I read this week: 1. Twitter‘s serious problem with abuse. 2. Inside a scandal at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. 3. A brief history of Arthur…

  • Link Party: 7/4-7/8

    Before we get to the main event, I’d like to share one piece of wisdom that has served me well throughout my life: It’s better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you’re a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt. Here’s what I read this week: 1. Up close and personal with…

  • Link Party: 6/20-6/24

    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…

  • Link Party: 6/13-6/17

    I read so many great articles this week, and I couldn’t pare them down to the best six because they were all. so. great. The more the merrier. Here’s what I read: 1. Can Netflix survive in the world it created? (My take: probably not.) 2. How Silicon Valley nails Silicon Valley. (Do you watch this…

  • 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.…
