The Weekly Wrap - The Weekly Wrap #54
I had a not so great week. Before I jump into the rest of the Wrap, I have a question for you. I already indicate when something is a gift link. Would you also like me to mention when something might be paywalled? As a librarian, I generally know options for getting around paywalls (legally) but not everyone does. Let me know by taking the linked poll below. Early last week, I made some time to finally finish The 1619 Project. The whole book is excellent, but the final chapter on Justice by Nikole Hannah-Jones should be required reading. It’s a powerful call for reparations which is the only way our country can even begin to atone for our government condoned history of slavery. To take a break from the deep reading that was The 1619 Project, I read Oddball by Sarah Andersen in one sitting. It’s a compilation of her web comics and it is delightful. I am now reading What Chefs Feed Their Kids: Recipes and Techniques for Cultivating a Love of Good Food. Our toddler eats pretty well but I want her to expand her palate so that I can cook lots of tasty things.
I love anything that saves me money and makes it easy to do so. Honey (referral link) is a browser extension that helps you find coupon codes and earn cash back. What I love best about this is that I don’t need to think about it. It pops up on websites where I shop, does some searching, and applies the codes for me. There are also other features, like a droplist where you can pin items to see if they go on sale. I gave myself a short work week and will be capping it off with my hotel night off from parenting. I need this. If you like newsletters, try The Sample! Every day, you get a different newsletter in your inbox. If you like it, you can sign up with one click.
