Weekend Reading, 8.2.25 – The Stripe

I can’t quite believe it’s already August. I’m in LA at the moment. I’ll get back, have a few more trips—and then, somehow, it’ll be September. This slowed-down summer has felt wonderfully breezy, but it’s flown by. Tonight, we’re heading to a fundraiser concert for my bf’s brothers’ new non-profit; I’ve been looking forward to it! Whatever your plans are this week, I hope they’re lovely. Enjoy the links!
