Saturday Surfing


It seems like it’s been forever since I managed a Saturday Surfing post, but I decided to make it a nap time priority today (instead of the millions of other things I need to do…). A few of these links have been hanging out waiting to be shared, so they’re a little old…

Finds of the Week:

  • Calling All Carnivores Tell Us Why It’s Ethical to Eat Meat: A Contest, New York Times Magazine — A call for essays on why it is ethical to eat meat.  Judges include Peter Singer, Michael Pollan, Mark Bittman, Jonathan Safran Foer and Andrew Light. This should be interesting.
  • Don’t Punish Mothers, Stand & Deliver  — The importance of respecting patients’ wishes and values, treating them with dignity, and to upholding their autonomy, even when it differs from the physician’s views.
  • GMO Labeling Infographic, Just Label It — Click the infographic to add your name to the petition.
  • Silly Games: Self Directed Playful Learning, Childhood101 — A post about the little games children play and why we should stop ourselves from intervening to reduce “mess,” etc.
  • Still a Fast-Food Nation: Eric Schlosser Reflects on 10 Years Later, The Daily Beast — Ten years after his seminal book Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser reflects on how little has changed in the production, safety, and consumption in America—but why he’s still hopeful.
  • Teenage Girls Want Phone Sex? Turn Me On, Dammit! Honestly Explores Teenage Sexuality, Slate — Review of a Norwegian film that won best screenplay at Tribeca Film Festival, and explores teenage girl’s sexuality.  There’s a trailer at the end.  This film looks and sounds like a must see.
  • Tragedy Gives The Hoodie A Whole New Meaning, NPR — What does a hoodie mean?  Cultural history and trying to change its sinister reputation.

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
