I didn’t realize regrinding old vinyl records was possible, but in the face of our climate crisis, it’s another trick the resuscitated industry has focused on. Good piece by Kyle Devine — Longreads link here, which is an excerpt from his...
I didn't realize it'd been more than a month since my last post. So, here's what I've been up to in that time: We had the baby shower. It was a lot to plan and prep for, but it came together nicely, and was really fun. I think everyone...
When will the hot weather end? It’s beginning to feel like never but inevitably the earth spins, seasons change and before we know it, autumn will be here. What will the cooler months have in store? More extremes, more storms, biblical...
