[ UPDATE: Hey there! I’m having more tech issues here on the site. At the moment, I can’t add images — which makes it hard to do things like create a home tour. Hah! I’ve got an awesome WordPress expert, Michelle of Walder Studio, helping me resolve the issues and hopefully I’ll be back up and running quickly. (I have 2 last-minute gift guides I was hoping to share this week!) ]
Hello, Friends. How are you? How was your weekend? We’ve had so much going on with the renovation! So many meetings with tradespeople, some new discoveries, a ton of errands. And I haven’t made time to write a Friday link list post in a couple of weeks. But I miss sharing links with you! So even though the weekend is over, I thought I’d write my usual Friday post anyway.
Here are a few things I’ve wanted to share with you:
–The pandemic is affecting periods. Am I the last person to learn about this?
-Yesterday there was an Elf Reunion Script Read to raise money for Reverend Warnick and Jon Ossoff in the Georgia Senate run-off. I was asleep when it happened, but plan to make a donation so I can watch it today with my kiddos (we LOVE Elf!).
-After a 15-year-old girl went missing in Florida, her mother found her in sex videos on Pornhub. Sexual assaults on a 14-year-old California girl were posted on Pornhub and reported by a classmate who saw the videos.
-Anti-human trafficking group Operation Underground Railroad under criminal investigation by Utah prosecutor.
-Breakdancing, or breaking, as the dancers themselves call it, is now an official Olympic sport.
-Motherhood in America Is a Multilevel Marketing Scheme.
-Related: “If you call motherhood “the most important job in the world” but think paying parents is radical, maybe just maybe your ‘admiration’ is just a way to mollify women into working for free.”
-The more we learn about Dan Crenshaw, the more there is to be disgusted by. The VA Office Inspector General reports three witnesses confirm Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) was the one who planted information in a smear campaign against a female veteran, who was sexually assaulted, to disparage her credibility.
-I’m thinking about gifts for writers and I just saw this keyboard, that looks and feels like a vintage typewriter, but works with a tablet. It looks so cool!
Here are some tweets I saved for you:
-Mesmerizing walking competitions.
-We also restrict driving privileges and implement safety requirements in an ongoing effort to lower vehicle fatalities. If you wear a seatbelt, you can wear a mask.
-Hah! A review of Pride & Prejudice.
-I appreciated the framing in this thread.
-These news stories should radicalize us. Let them.
-The home ownership gap is worse for Black Americans now than it was during segregation.
-German Christmas Ornament Catalogue.
-Why can you still spread the virus even with a vaccine? (This applies to other vaccines too.) This thread is a good simple explainer.
-I did not know this little historical tidbit, but I love it.
-Can’t stop looking at this image.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I’ve been missing you like crazy. I’m glad to see you back here today.
kisses,
Gabrielle
You always find the most interesting content to share. Did you see there was an update article to the porn article? There’s some signs of company changes and new legislation to address some of the problems.
I love these links, you always have such interesting things to share! :)
Oh, I really love the idea of raising bail funds with Messiah sing-alongs. Thank you, thank you for this beautiful round-up. xox
