The final Monday of April is upon us — and with that, another round of interesting articles from around the web. But first, how was your weekend?
Mine was remarkably similar to the rest of the week, to be honest. The rhythm of time stationery in Northern California means fitting in time to write and work on other parts of the project around my niece’s nap and sleep schedule. (Plenty of early mornings and late nights.) I am trying to launch a few new exciting parts of the project, so there’s plenty to keep me busy in this unexpected time “off-road.”
For now, let’s take a mental break with a cup of coffee and review the ‘net together. There’s plenty going on right now to discuss.
Note: As a disclaimer, I want to say that the links I share below do not necessarily reflect my own views, either politically or personally. Some are left-leaning, some are right-leaning, some are more in the middle. I am constantly challenging myself to consider issues from all angles, and these links reflect this challenge.
Secondary note: Additionally, I want to take this moment to encourage you to share feedback/thoughts of your own in the comments section. I’m sincerely up for open dialogue and the sharing of opinions and ideas. That said, whether in agreement or criticism, please always treat each other with mutual respect.
