Salome, annotating, new cities, McDonald's, and more

Seven links to worthwhile thin(g/k)s

Hello dear reader,

Here are seven links to bits of the world I have been exploring this week, shared with the hope that you will find them to be an inspiring springboard for deeper thinking.

1. How, and why to annotate (and why fiction matters)

2. Love this approach to exploring a new city: “On my first day I literally walk across the city, to the extent it can be done. .. I usually end in a bar, restaurant, church, or all of the above, before taking a bus back. The next day I do another cross town walk, but in a different direction.” It’s one that my husband and I adopted ever since our study abroad days, when we walked all over on a meandering and sunburn-inducing first day in a new city.

3. #Swedengate and food culture

4. Unread books and Umberto Eco’s thoughts

5. Summer kickoff: watermelon-feta-mint salad deliciousness

6. Un-branding McDonald’s in Russia

7. Women philosophers of the 19th Century

Until next week!

Warmly,

Ani
