I'd rather be somewhere else.

I started looking into what happens to returned products recently and it's as bad and wasteful as I feared.

Something a little bit hopeful and helpful from Ana Maria Spagna.

Late and unsurprising but wanted to post this

This avalanche of selfies on this blog was a mistake, but the internet I'm using is slow as hell and I am just going to use this error as a way to let y'all know I'm currently on a 3-month sabbatical, driving around the inland West for the next month and a half (I'm a month and a half in). If you want to catch up and follow along, check out sabs-story.tumblr.com.

Most of this is Lit Crit 101 but the thing about having a searchable appendix of notes (that I guess you just carry around with you for your whole life) really appeals to my obsessive Virgo mind.

Medical waste is a HUGE source of environmental anxiety for me, but the last couple of paragraphs indicating the possibility of reusable masks and other PPE are hopeful. Now to find a way to help that happen.. . 

Small victories today in Seattle, but the above, and this event from March are currently being handled in Tacoma. Keep your foot on the gas. 

Obviously a small win, but it’s something. 

5. Dance. Do not play the spoons. You are not as good as they are. Maybe someday.

WHOA tumblr (or maybe spotify) also made it so I can play these tracks without an account?? (HOORAY). I went to a music festival with Scott last weekend and I have been on a huge new music jag. I got to hear a lot of really fun music, (which I’ll probably slap up here pretty soon so I can find it later). A particular higlight was getting to see these v. talented musicians perform live again. I also got to meet two of them, and they were very polite and gracious, despite that weird dynamic where I knew them and how talented they are and where they’ve been traveling (thanks, Instagram) but I am basically a stranger to them. Give ‘em a listen -- they’re excellent.
