Good morning from Georgia! How was your weekend?
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately reevaluating how to most effectively complete this project — when to start traveling again, how to ensure I’m capturing the broadest number of American voices, where I want to take this project moving forward. These days, it feels like I have more questions than answers.
I know that I’m not alone in that — there is so much in flux in our world right now, so many unanswered questions. I’m currently just taking it one day at a time.
So for today, let’s get to the news.
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.
