this was a good week

Sorry for skipping last week, folks — it was a good week, it was just also a full week. This week was a good and full week, too. Here’s why:

This week was busy, but calm — and I’m winding everything up today to clear next week, so I can exclusively work on my book. The deadline is the week after — send me good writing juju!

• I say Thanksgiving should be a full week of comfort food this year — God knows we’ve earned it. These recipes from the New York Times are a good start.

This story of my sweet friend’s grandmother’s death (?) is insane.

This sweet Storycorps animation made me smile.

• I have a thing about miniatures — just me? These, from a post-apocalyptic universe, had me spellbound.

These young women playing the shamisen are incredible.

The Tate Museum in London was covered in LED lights by artist Chila Kumari Singh Burman to celebrate Diwali. So cool!

These winners of the Weather Photographer of the Year competition are spectacular — some of these images don’t even look real!

• And finally, this week’s song: I’ve been listening to this song on repeat, because honestly, if this book I’m writing had a soundtrack, this song would be the title track. Click here or the image below to enjoy.

Have a great weekend, friends.
