Turns out the most depressing day of the week is actually Wednesday. Hang in there.
Fortune.com: Inside the secret world of Trader Joes.
New York Review of Books: Growing Up Female.
New York Times: An Anthropologist’s Take on Homemaking (Thanks, Stephanie).
Slate.com: The Genius of the Wise and Cranky Kaplan Twitter Feeds (and be sure to read Cranky Kaplan and Wise Kaplan). I didn’t really get Twitter until Stephanie turned me on to the Kaplans, who use the 140 characters of Twitter to tell a narrative (fictive) story over time. It’s addictive and an incredibly intelligent use of the medium. To my mind, it is a modern update on Charles Dickens writing Oliver Twist as a serialized monthly newspaper story that evolved over time. Truly, nothing is new.
