3. these other-worldly pods.

4. this book.

5. blanket weather.

other things:

this isn’t another horror story.

upcycling.

becoming a parent didn’t lessen my ambition, but it did make me more sanguine about work.

why are all the motherhood memoirs so white?

buy this and you are being a sustainable consumer.

restoring the right to vote.

sometimes moving sideways will make you happier than moving forward.

    i love the ‘buy this and you’ll be sustainable consumer’ link. greenwashing is so maddening and truthfully sustainable shopping labels, etc can be confusing! my summer essentials were mostly salvaged (thrifted, found, hand me down) and it’s the unbelievably amazing result of my only-buy-secondhand experiment. yes it takes longer and requires patience but it has literally changed my life for the better. more here: https://tps-steph.blogspot.com/2019/05/0037-25-ways-to-treat-yo-self.html
