• 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: 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: 2/20-2/24

    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: 2/6-2/10

    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…

  • Link Party: 1/16-1/20

    Participating in the Los Angeles Women’s March on Washington with 750,000 people and millions more around the world was an incredible experience that I will never forget. I am proud that I exercised my civic duty in support of protecting basic human rights for all. Today is the first day of the next four years, and it’s…

  • Link Party: 1/9-1/13

    Here’s what I read this week: 1. This article about abortion and the future of women’s health in America is extremely important reading. 2. Solange, interviewed by Beyoncé. 3. Diet Coke is not killing you. 4. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the Trump administration. 5. Ryan Gosling is a man after his time. And…

  • Link Party: 12/5-12/9

    Here’s what I’ve read lately: 1. These stories about Prince are incredible. 2. Rei Kawakubo and the impossible task of her Met retrospective. 3. Dinner with the guy who revolutionized the science of cooking. 4. If you live in California, you should know the names of these political leaders. 5. 2016 is the year of playing ourselves.…

  • Link Party: 11/28-12/2

    What I’ve read lately: 1. The film J.D. Salinger nearly made of “For Esme, With Love and Squalor.” 2. New York’s dying diner culture. 3. Confessions of an Instagram influencer. 4. FiveThirtyEight asked 8,500 people why they leave comments on the Internet. 5. Donald Crowhurst’s heartbreaking 1969 circumnavigation hoax. And a bonus: Wes Anderson‘s Christmas…
