hey-o, happy Monday...

::waves::

The weekend was reasonably decent--we started off with an outdoor office hang at my director's house on Friday morning. It was good to see people IRL and she (director) is a raging extrovert who loved to throw parties in the pre-C19 times so she hauled out all kinds of yard games and set up a sno-cone maker and laid in a supply of individually packaged snacks and treats, so that was fun. Also, the weather (the heat dome?) broke so we weren't being roasted by the sun, which made everything much more pleasant.

The rest of the weekend was mostly just chill. L came down and we walked a couple of miles with my Berserker!Dog and I watched a couple more episodes of Mando S2 (( spoilers through 2.03 )

And here, have a couple of links:

In the Before times (2019) Anne Helen Petersen wrote about millennials and burnout and I somehow followed that to her newsletter, Culture Study, which has given me lots to think of over the last year and I would recommend it highly. And then last week, while I felt like I was walking through slowly hardening cement, she published You're Still Exhausted, and it was exactly what I needed to read. It might help you, too?

In much less fraught linkage, it is apparently #NationalBookLoversDay, and so NASA has linked to their (free) e-book archive. Might I recommend Earth at Night or Through the Eyes of Cassini?

Have a good week, y'all!
