Yesterday got away from me. I looked up and it was 4pm, and I forgotten to push publish on the #BreakThings. So today’s and tomorrow’s will be a little longer.
I’m moving forward with a plan to have contributors curate 1-2 #BreakThings lists while I’m working the legislative session. I will publish the Google form and some more information on that this weekend.
But for now, let’s Break Things.

The Marshall Plan for Moms would pay $2,400 to Moms to compensate them for their motherhood-related labor, which are often unseen and unpaid. But, while well intentioned, a handful of noted feminists are raising concerns that the plan is antiquated and will harm mothers more than it helps. Read their Newsweek editorial to hear their argument.
Apparently, I wear twinsets now. I am officially my mother. But when Ann Taylor makes a sweater set this good, and the base layer has actual sleeves, I had to give it a try.
Minimalism and Scandinavian style have taken over home decor. But some are going bigger, bolder, and brighter instead of simpler. If this is your taste, this Washingtonian article is not to be missed.
Stuff You Should Know makes both short and long episodes about topics that are mostly interesting, and sometimes both interesting and weird. Want to know about earwax? The NAACP? This podcast has you covered.
