2024 Olympics

 

Who knew the most wholesome fans at the Paris Olympics would be Snoop Dogg and Flava Flav?!

 

These two are DELIVERING the hype-- the ultimate girl dads (now grandpas) and I love it.

 

I mean, come on. These are images I didn't know I needed to see.

Two masters of style, always and forever.

Summer Lifeline

 

Flips flops are heaven. Heel cracks are hell. A pumice stone plus urea cream equals happy feet.

Propitious

 

This is a (small) pear. It's the first fruit (ever) from the three saplings we planted years ago in our shady garden. Thrilling.

Human Origins

Ben and I have been engaged in a deep geek out about human evolutionary origins. The best resource we have found so far is a wonderful educator on YouTube named Stefan Milo.

 

He asks and answers really fascinating questions about our ancient ancestors and the worlds they inhabited with humor, curiosity and humility.

What's wild to me is how much better these videos are than anything else I have found in my cursory searches online. They are digestible, nerdy, and (perhaps most importantly) recent. Maybe his children's book is too?

[Spoiler: It totally is.]

Carpoolers

 

The photographer, Alejandro Cartagena, documented construction workers hitching rides to work in the back of flatbed trucks from an overpass on Highway 85 outside of Monterrey, Mexico. He published these photos in a book series titled, Carpoolers.
