\"Walking<\/a>

(My collection of new, old, and vintage watches.)<\/p><\/div>\n

This week was pretty crazy, with lots of appointments, a sick boy, and little sleep. I didn’t accomplish nearly as much for my store as I’d planned, but that is motherhood for you. I’m hoping to catch up on rest this weekend and get in a little work time, too. Here are some things that caught my eye this week.<\/p>\n

The Hipster Paradox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jemima Kirke<\/a> is working with the Center for Reproductive Rights and sharing her own story.<\/p>\n

A real midwife’s thoughts on “Call the Midwife.”<\/a>\u00a0(Seriously, this is one of the best shows on television.)<\/p>\n

Part of a series by NPR, a family in North Dakota talks about gay marriage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A large number of Texas companies<\/a> are supporting LGBT rights in the state.<\/p>\n

John Legend visited Austin<\/a> this week in his campaign to lower incarceration rates in the United States. (Texas has the highest number of prisoners in the U.S.)<\/p>\n

Mothers seeking asylum<\/a> at the Karnes City Family Detention Center stage a hunger strike to demand their release.<\/p>\n

Growing up in a hoarding house<\/a>, a project by photographer Geoff Johnson<\/a>. (The first article explains that the children photographed were digitally inserted into the settings.)<\/p>\n

On the word Mindfulness<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
