What are you up to this weekend? Anton\u2019s second cousin Jimmy<\/a> is visiting, so we are heading to my friend Sharon\u2019s house<\/a> in Connecticut to do cannonballs in her pool. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n

The trailer for Sharon Horgan\u2019s new show<\/a> looks great.<\/p>\n

How gorgeous are the dahlias in San Francisco<\/a>? (NYTimes gift link)<\/p>\n

I asked my friend why her skin has looked so glowy, and she sent me the link to this peptide serum<\/a> (bonus: it\u2019s currently 25% off<\/a>).<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no place like group chats.<\/a> \u201cSomeone is having a baby. Someone\u2019s dear friend dies. Someone cooked a meal. Someone got a new pair of shoes. Someone is watching a new show that \u2018you all should really check out so I have someone else to talk about it with.\u2019 Someone is carrying a child out of the hospital after a toy-swallowing incident, and the once terrifying story becomes at least a little bit funny in the end, if we\u2019re lucky.\u201d (New Yorker)<\/p>\n

A woman who drives a bus for dogs<\/a>. \u201cSome have a favorite seat on the bus. One poodle has a meltdown if another dog is in her pod on the front row.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emotional support tuna melt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How dreamy are these reading chairs: oxblood<\/a>, boucl\u00e9<\/a>, and sheepskin<\/a>. (All on sale<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Remembering Gloria Steinem<\/a>: \u201cWhenever anyone thanked her for changing the world, she waved it off. Look around, not up,<\/em> she liked to say of heroes. We build solidarity side to side<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eight things women are wearing in Copenhagen<\/a> that I\u2019d love to steal. (Big Salad)<\/p>\n

Hahahhaha<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Plus, four of the best sales this weekend:
* Our favorite mattresses<\/a> are 30% off. We have these<\/a> on every bed in our house.
* I packed these jeans<\/a> and these pants<\/a> on every<\/em> trip this summer. AYR is up to 60% off<\/a>.
* Ruggable<\/a> is up to 30% off. I\u2019ve had my eye on this<\/a> for our dining room.
* Activewear at Fabletics<\/a> is 80% off (!). This fleece<\/a> looks cozy for fall walks.<\/p>\n

And two reader comments:<\/p>\n

Says Sarah B. on what did you do this weekend<\/a>: \u201cI love to wear a little headscarf, and people always say to me, \u2018I could never pull it off!\u2019 Here\u2019s my secret: No one thinks they can pull anything off the first time they do it. I felt very stupid and self-conscious the first time I wore a little headscarf! Every time you wear something outside of your norm, you have to be a little brave, but then it\u2019s great. It\u2019s just a scarf on your head, it\u2019s cute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Anna on do you ever read while walking<\/a>: \u201cOne evening, I, a middle-aged woman, was walking through the quiet streets of my neighborhood reading a library book. I looked up to avoid an oncoming walker and met the eyes of another middle-aged woman, looking up from her library book so as not to run into me. We both grinned and instinctively tapped our books together in a sort of literary cheers, then walked on in our opposite directions without saying a word.\u201d<\/p>\n
