A fire broke out nearby and I'm experiencing cabin fever. Here's where my mind has been this week:
- This eye-opening novel following a year at a boarding school for the deaf is making my brain work in a very good way (see my 2026 reading list).
- The poetry of the death of Miranda July's studio garden moved me.
- I'm considering starting a home inventory with this app, which could prove useful in case of a disaster.
- This tee is giving summer camp vibes.
- This video is transporting me back to my linguistics classes.
- Who else is an only child?
- I want to travel to Maine and eat there.
- What is it that makes me want a pair of clogs?
- My friend Hawnuh just launched Portland’s first hyperlocal newsletter dedicated to all things plant-based in the Rose City.
- I thought it was a rant against the healthcare system. I was so wrong!
