I have to say, just writing out “weekend reading” sparked a little joy: it’s good to be back. As much as I loved the break and as much work as this column can be, I really miss curating it when I am OOO. I hope you are as well as possible. The world feels so heavy right now. I have been a mess: really sad and anxious. I made donations to LAFD and World Central Kitchen. Both organizations are doing great things. Here are some other vetted ways to help. This article, too. Sending so much love to everyone affected.
