\"seagulls\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What are you up to this weekend? We\u2019re hosting Anton\u2019s<\/a> 12th birthday party at a pool, and I can\u2019t wait for cannonballs and Marco Polo. And thank you for the wonderful comments on this post<\/a> \u2014\u00a0this community makes me feel hopeful. If you\u2019re protesting<\/a> this weekend, stay safe and know your rights<\/a>. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n

Pulitzer Prize-winning Barbara Kingsolver, of Demon Copperhead, tells us what people get wrong about Appalachia, how she talked to a ghost, and her three favorite books<\/a>. Omg I love her so much.<\/p>\n

Also, her garden is magical<\/a>!!!<\/p>\n

The perfect daytime dress<\/a> and nighttime dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Will you be seeing the new rom-com, Materialists<\/a>? It\u2019s gotten mixed reviews, but this anatomy of a scene<\/a>, narrated by director-writer Celine Song, is really fun to watch. (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe this statue in Rome<\/a> was made of marble.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy powerful, impossible wish for my baby to look like me<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did you know there\u2019s a Knit in Public Day\u201d<\/a>? Love the image, which reminds me of women laughing alone with salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Turkey burgers<\/a>, yummmmm.<\/p>\n

The easiest way I\u2019ve found to get silky soft skin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

30 delightful hotels in Europe for under $300\/night<\/a>. But I\u2019d be way too claustrophobic to stay in a City Hub<\/a>. (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n

How cute is this robot bar cart<\/a>? You could make a slushy paper plane<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cole Escola being hilarious<\/a>, as always.<\/p>\n

Plus, two reader comments:<\/p>\n

Says Alex on dad\u2019s rules for life<\/a>: \u201cWhen I was a teenager, I was really struggling getting a piece of Saran Wrap. My dad, who can do\/fix\/know ANYTHING came in and coached me: \u2018Rip with confidence!\u2019 The whole family laughed, but what do you know, off came the most pristine piece of Saran Wrap you\u2019ve ever seen. So, for the last 30 years, whenever one of us is struggling with something big or small, someone inevitably repeats that advice. We say it jokingly, but it really works! Nervous about a work presentation? \u2018Rip with confidence!\u2019 Scared to give birth? \u2018Rip with confidence!\u2019 Don\u2019t have any idea what you\u2019re talking about but want other people to think you\u2019re a genius? \u2018Rip with confidence!’\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Karen on five pick-me-ups<\/a>: \u201cAmen to women helping women help other women. What can\u2019t women do?! Literally nothing, I love us. xoxo\u201d<\/p>\n
