Weekend coffee #140.

Hard to believe it’s already Labor Day weekend. Time feels suspended this year and I swear it was just March. I’m not sure how to approach the arrival of fall, although New Jersey did start to allow indoor dining and amusements as of yesterday. With that, life is almost back to normal, minus whatever is happening with the schools and the ongoing paper product shortage. We’ll see what’s to come. 2020 hasn’t exactly hadn’t out too much good fortune so far, but things could turn around. Stranger things have happened. Anyway, here’s what I’m reading and pondering lately:

• Walking in Heavy Thunderstorm at Night in NYC

• We Have Her Back: The Objectification of Women in Politics—and Why it Matters

• How Pilates Became ‘Feminine’ (And Why It’s Not Really)

• Each State’s Most Googled Quarantine Hobby, Mapped

• Mark Mothersbaugh nearly died from COVID-19. FaceTiming with his family kept him alive

• Google Just Launched a Solution for Your Too-Many-Tabs Problem

• Contributive Justice and the Dignity of Work

• On Witness and Respair: A Personal Tragedy Followed by Pandemic

• And I’m currently finishing up The Glass Hotel

That’s all for now. Until next time - thanks for following along and be well.
