A Few Things

[ UPDATE: Hey there! I’m having more tech issues here on the site. At the moment, I can’t add images — which makes it hard to do things like create a home tour. Hah! I’ve got an awesome WordPress expert, Michelle of Walder Studio, helping me resolve the issues and hopefully I’ll be back up and running quickly. (I have 2 last-minute gift guides I was hoping to share this week!) ]

Hello, Friends. How are you? How was your weekend? We’ve had so much going on with the renovation! So many meetings with tradespeople, some new discoveries, a ton of errands. And I haven’t made time to write a Friday link list post in a couple of weeks. But I miss sharing links with you! So even though the weekend is over, I thought I’d write my usual Friday post anyway.

Here are a few things I’ve wanted to share with you:

The pandemic is affecting periods. Am I the last person to learn about this?

-Yesterday there was an Elf Reunion Script Read to raise money for Reverend Warnick and Jon Ossoff in the Georgia Senate run-off. I was asleep when it happened, but plan to make a donation so I can watch it today with my kiddos (we LOVE Elf!).

-After a 15-year-old girl went missing in Florida, her mother found her in sex videos on Pornhub. Sexual assaults on a 14-year-old California girl were posted on Pornhub and reported by a classmate who saw the videos.

-Anti-human trafficking group Operation Underground Railroad under criminal investigation by Utah prosecutor.

-Breakdancing, or breaking, as the dancers themselves call it, is now an official Olympic sport.

-Motherhood in America Is a Multilevel Marketing Scheme.

-Related: “If you call motherhood “the most important job in the world” but think paying parents is radical, maybe just maybe your ‘admiration’ is just a way to mollify women into working for free.”

-The more we learn about Dan Crenshaw, the more there is to be disgusted by. The VA Office Inspector General reports three witnesses confirm Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) was the one who planted information in a smear campaign against a female veteran, who was sexually assaulted, to disparage her credibility.

Add-on gifts: Yea or Nay?

-I’m thinking about gifts for writers and I just saw this keyboard, that looks and feels like a vintage typewriter, but works with a tablet. It looks so cool!

Here are some tweets I saved for you:

-Mesmerizing walking competitions.

-We also restrict driving privileges and implement safety requirements in an ongoing effort to lower vehicle fatalities. If you wear a seatbelt, you can wear a mask.

-Hah! A review of Pride & Prejudice.

-I appreciated the framing in this thread.

-These news stories should radicalize us. Let them.

More radicalization.

-The home ownership gap is worse for Black Americans now than it was during segregation.

-German Christmas Ornament Catalogue.

-Why can you still spread the virus even with a vaccine? (This applies to other vaccines too.) This thread is a good simple explainer.

-I did not know this little historical tidbit, but I love it.

-Can’t stop looking at this image.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I’ve been missing you like crazy. I’m glad to see you back here today.

kisses,
Gabrielle
