Welcome to this week’s edition of Click. Read. Love. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday and Happy Native American Heritage Day today. It’s a shorter list this week but plenty of great links. We hope you enjoy! And as always, if you have something to share, please drop it in the comments. Here’s the best of week…
Read. Watch. Listen
A great list of books for kids to read during Native American heritage month.
Why the godfather of AI fears what he built. (The New Yorker)
For all my gardeners, the USDA updated the plant hardiness zone map.
The need for women’s anger. (The Ariadne Archive)
33 winter cocktails and hot drink recipes to try this winter. (Glamour)
Is anyone listening to what Trump is saying lately? (The Atlantic)
“Shopping didn’t give me freedom or agency. By placing me on a conveyor belt where I was constantly tasked with keeping up with the latest trends, it took control away from me.” (Vox)
One of the best ways to support my work is to share it with your friends!

Maternity care deserts are making it increasingly dangerous to be a newborn in the US. (Vox)
“And in many ways, these megafandoms around singular personalties like Swift, or as I’ve been calling them, attention monopolies, are what is actually replacing our aging social networks. Instead of having a digital home on one or two platforms, younger internet users live inside overarching fandoms (or political movements (which are, now, usually the same thing)) and use them as a way to link together the broken pieces of the web. This is, of course, not actually a better way to understand the world, and actually just creates all sorts of new problems.” (Garbage Day)
Shop
I rounded up some Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales here including my favorite place to shop for beauty, great jeans, the cutest ski/snowboard gear and more.
We’re hiking a mountain in NH for my friend’s 40th (not my idea, lol), so I needed waterproof hiking boots and these are super comfy and very affordable.
Craig got these Frozen crocs for Marin for Christmas and she is going to lose her mind.
