Weekend coffee #224.

The last two years of writing this weekly post have felt…strange. With the pandemic raging, it seems trite to compile a list of interesting articles and videos and publish it somewhere on the vast stretches of the internet for whoever to see. Compound that with the ongoing war in Ukraine and we’ve moved from trite to banal, or perhaps, something worse. Nevertheless, we continue, so here’s the latest.

• Do Yourself a Favor and Go Find a ‘Third Place.’

• Microplastics in Our Food Is No Joke. Just Kidding, It's Funny as Hell.

• The Extraordinary Life Of Betty Reid Soskin, America’s Oldest Park Ranger Who Is Retiring At Age 100

• Moonlight Mojave.

• Currently watching: Life After Death.

• Currently reading: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

That’s all for now. Until next time - thanks for following along and look for some levity.
