I’m trying something new today. Whether you come here for book reviews, tea reviews, or my own rambling thoughts, you’re probably curious about what I pay attention to outside of those three spheres. So here’s the first in what will hopefully become a series: a post with links to interesting articles I’ve read recently.
These are articles I’ve seen on social media or saved on Pocket. Some of the links below are new, some are old, but hopefully, at least one of them will catch your interest.

I may tinker with this format in the future as I figure out how many links to post at once. In the meantime, do you have any suggestions for other articles I should read? Share them in the comments!
