Here’s the scoop, kids:

The Third Thing - Stunning article and insight about how real love between two people also has a third thing, an outward something that both love, that connects and unites them. What a piece. Please read this one.
Why You Can’t Remember Being Born - Interesting sciencey piece about memory, its shortcomings, and why they might not be shortcomings after all. Cool read about our brains, which are, cool.
Puttering Around - I’m a putterer, my Mom’s a putterer, and I know quite a few putterers too. This is about that, and about just how damn therapeutic it is to complete small tasks. Try it, you’ll see.
Loch Ness Monster…Plausible?! - Um, tickle me excited and vindicated and mystified! This article has some amazing insight into why the ol’ Loch Ness Monster might just bee a real thing after all. Holy S.
Cannibal by Marcus Mumford - Mumford & Sons frontman is back with some rad songs. I dig the flavor of this one.
The Banshees of Inisherin - Holy shit I can’t wait for this movie. Filmed in some of my favorite places on earth in Ireland, and with two actors I love, by a director who cannot go wrong. OOOFDA.
