How To Wear A Tunic Sweater
By Jess
25 Feb 2022

Snow is falling outside my window in big fluffy flakes. It’s beautiful and calming, while the world right now, is not. It’s heavy, and I’ll be honest I don’t have anything profound to say. We can’t “fix” what’s happening right now with a few donations or calls to action. It’s ok to log off and do what you need to try and find some inner peace. As one of the articles I’ve linked below contemplates, sometimes help can come in the form of quiet contemplation and personal reflection. You don’t have to prove you are sad, outraged, or feeling helpless. Performative activism helps no one. I want to have answers, but I don’t, and I’m sitting with that discomfort. Please take care of yourselves.

If you’re looking for something to buy, try, read, share or pin, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of the week…

Russia has invaded Ukraine—here’s why Russian aggression should matter to Americans.

Sometimes “help” should come not in the form of social media activism but, instead, in the form of quiet contemplation. Reading and learning about the history of the conflict. Personal reflection. A prayer for all those in Ukraine at this very moment: all those who are hurting, scared, and very much broken.”

President Joe Biden has chosen Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as his nominee to replace Justice Breyer. If confirmed, Judge Jackson will be the first Black woman ever to sit on the Supreme Court.

Have you seen this sketch on the perfect mother from SNL? Hilarious.

I love this flowy, romantic blouse from Faherty for spring. This weekend get 20% off your purchase with code JESSK20.

The documentary “What Remains” looks at an intervention that could slow land loss along the state’s fragile coast.

OK so confession, I’m a total nerd when it comes to comic book/superhero movies (blame it on growing up with two brothers) but I’m very interested to see The Batman and this Robert Pattinson profile was the first I’ve read in a long while. Also, I can’t believe the 90’s fashion styling in these photos. (Caylin)

A sale on the Patagonia Nano Puff jacket in several colors. This is an awesome lightweight but warm jacket (great for spring and travel).

Twelve great places to buy art online.

The US women’s soccer team won a proposed $24 million equal pay settlement in its class action lawsuit.

“The burden of caring for a child in modern America can be crushing, and there’s little support or incentive to do it.” The Matriarchy Report is a newsletter for “anyone who is interested in relieving suffering and increasing well-being and equity in the U.S.”

One of my favorite organic cotton striped sweaters is back in stock. The button detail is so chic and it’s great for spring (I sized up).

So we all do it, but how exactly does recycling work?

Three possibilities for our climate-ravaged future—and the solutions that could prevent the worst.

Have you ever binge watched an entire season of a show only to have it return for another season and you have no idea what happened in the previous season? There’s a name for it. (Also, we’re glad we’re not the only ones this happens to)

Remember that class on happiness? The professor is saying that anxiety is destroying her students.

A shocking read about the state of organic cotton farming in India, and elsewhere.

Absolutely heartbreaking—a father’s yearlong struggle to regain custody of his son.
