friday link love
Hi friends, happy Friday, Passover, and upcoming Easter. I hope this is a good weekend for you all. We spent some time in Massachusetts with family for Passover and had our fill of brisket. Every year, around this time, I fall hard for matzo with cream cheese or salted butter, only to forget about it as soon as the holiday ends. Much like my apples and honey craze around Rosh Hashanah, this one doesn’t linger much longer past the required time frame. In any case, I’m hopeful that our farmers’ market has more than just tubers this week – spring onions, perhaps?
Wishing you all a beautiful holiday weekend ahead. See you next week! xo

Well, there you have it folks: parental involvement is overrated.
The polarized partisan geography of inequality. “Of the 10 richest House districts, only two have Republican congressmen.” Might this be why Democrats are so focused on the issue?

I hear there will be ramps at our farmers market tomorrow…can’t wait!
I hope you’ve had a great time with your family.

In answer to the Sox question re Jonathan: we watched the World Series together and he was most certainly rooting for Boston. But please don’t think me a wanker (he has a British accent) for having new team loyalties.⚽️ Baseball now seems very slooooowww to me. And I now call American football…”American football.”

Elinor – baseballs is certainly slow, but definitely a ton of fun to watch live, I think. On tv – not so much. Football (american) I struggle with because of all the head injury controversy. And I love watching it but it’s definitely a conflicting feeling. Ha – wanker!
