What are your plans for the weekend? My twin sister<\/a> is coming to visit and I\u2019m excited to squeeze her. Her celebrity crush is\u2026wait for it\u2026Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, so we are going to see Uncle Vanya<\/a> starring Steve Carell. I\u2019ll report back! Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n My four tried-and-true ways to deepen friendships<\/a> on Big Salad today (paywalled), although I think the last one might be a little controversial! Also, the sweetest thing my friend did<\/a> for me after a mini breakup. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n The shorts<\/a> I\u2019ll be wearing all summer.<\/p>\n Have you seen the trailer for Wolfs<\/a>, where George Clooney and Brat Pitt play rival fixers?<\/p>\n Every conversation between every parent and their child<\/a> after one year of college, lol.<\/p>\n Who would like to go to these six wild swimming spots in California<\/a>? (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n Slang terms<\/a> that should exist.<\/p>\n Wow, the behind-the-scenes of Ayo Edebiri doing the voice of \u2018Envy\u2019<\/a> in Inside Out. (via Kottke<\/a>)<\/p>\n Maybe this is random, but I found the perfect fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n Looooove these gorgeous prints and patterns in people\u2019s homes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hahahaha<\/a>.<\/p>\n Plus, four reader comments (they were all so good!):<\/p>\n Says on what\u2019s your hyper-specific love language?<\/a>: \u201cMy father-in-law\u2019s love language is stocking your pantry. At 61, he discovered he has autism and it has freed him from the pain of feeling like he \u2018needs\u2019 to be physically affectionate. I won\u2019t get a hug but I will definitely get $100 worth of high quality organic peanut butter because one time I casually mentioned liking it! Makes me teary.\u201d<\/p>\n Mel says on what\u2019s your hyper-specific love language?<\/a>: \u201cMy love language is words of affirmation. It is my mom\u2019s, too. If you\u2019re feeling terrible or uncertain or insecure, call us up and we\u2019ll turn that around so fast. I have the honor of mothering two little girls, and using that gift on them is incredible. I also just wrapped up reviewing two of my direct reports, and using that gift on impressionable twenty-somethings is also wonderful. Here, come, tell me your worries, your insecurities, and I\u2019ll tell you how loved and able and strong you are.\u201d<\/p>\n
