Times are busy but people keep posting interesting things so let's get to them.
Learning
- An interview with Vanessa Adriana Nadal at National Engineering Forum. I love this discussion about the arts and STEM.
- I watch for this list every summer: Al Mohler's Summer Reading List.
- Yes, I AM enjoying all these rants against the new "Anne". Anne with an F: The New Avonlea's Confused Feminism by Haley at Carrots for Michaelmas.
Living
- Parts of this are gross but it's sweet over all: Making a Marriage Magically Tidy by Helen Ellis for The New York Times.
- A great motivational post inspired by remembering D-Day: The Toehold from Littles Make the World Go Round.
- A Manifesto Against the Tyranny of Luxury Kitchens from Victoria Elizabeth Barnes.
- Looking for a Radical Solution to Bitter Politics? Teach Your Kids Manners by Melissa Langsam Braunstein at The Federalist. Make manners great again! So say we all! (I assume.)
- The Surprising Link Between Broken Families and America's Opioid Crisis by Tamas Ungar at The Federalist. We live in the middle of this and this is right on.

Anything catch your eye recently?
My husband and I just broke down this week and signed up for Prime. We've held out this long but enough was enough. Plus, we discovered we could set up a household and share it. So that's nice. (Even if it does contribute to feeling like Amazon is taking over our lives...)
