A new week, and a lot of questions to ponder in today’s roundup.
But first — how was your weekend? It was a beautiful weekend here in Berkeley — the sun was out every day and it never fails to amaze me how much the sunshine can brighten my mood. I’ve been working on a few exciting projects for June and am eager to get them off the ground.
For now, though, I wanted to share some of the interesting things I’ve read over the weekend from across the vast internet. A lot happening, COVID-19 related and otherwise.
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.
