It’s Wednesday! Congratulations to everyone for making it halfway through the week.
Seriously, well done!
We have a hodgepodge of links for you all today. Meanwhile, I’m switching back and forth between Animal Crossing and Minecraft. I’m finding digging, exploring, and cultivating a homestead to be incredibly relaxing at the moment.
What about you? How are you relaxing?

I loved all the support on this Reddit thread from a couple of days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/gz26ts/im_a_23_year_old_straight_man_who_has_recently/
@Kate, that reddit was wonderful and made my day! I love it when people love what they love and other people support it.
This is the thing that made me happiest about where I live this week.
