Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Wednesday Links!
I’m getting over the flu, so that should give plenty of indication how my weekend went. I also got to see a little bit of my partner’s hometown and grabbed some delicious bagels from a local shop (toasted sesame with bacon scallion cream cheese). I love me a bagel, though the best I’ve had was in Montreal (St. Viateur – sesame with just butter). Any fellow bagel lovers in the audience?
I’m definitely thankful for the long weekend and for the opportunities to laze around.

As a reminder, Tara from SBTB hosts a podcast with author Kris Bryant called Queerly Recommended. They just dropped one of their most important episodes yet on book banning and the targeting of LGBTQ+ books. You can listen here.

I’m obsessed with this cat club Instagram profile. The cats are beautiful and the cat show judges are hilarious.

Are you a forager or are interested in foraging in your area? Check out this cool map of urban harvesting locations. You can also learn more about urban harvesting and the site’s non-profit on their About page.

This Instagram page is really making me fight the urge to pick up yet another hobby. This person is redoing their entire library and turning their books into the Penguin clothbound classic aesthetic. I love seeing which images are used for the cover and what sorts of end papers will go in the books!

Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!


The book binding hobby looks exhausting. The books look nice but may not be all that durable. I wonder how they will hold up to multiple re-readings.
Oh wow, there are a lot of berries around my city… I could totally walk by the botanical gardens and snag some mulberries
I misread “forager” as “forger” and thought, well that’s an interesting turn for SBTB!
Black Forager on Instagram taught me that the blossoms on our black locust trees are edible.
