Web Miscellany: Compilation #21

Hello loves–

I hope your week has been filled with small moments of intense joy and pleasure, and I hope your carry that happiness into this weekend. Any fun or exciting plans? Any exciting shifts in the weather to indicate that fall is on her way?

At time of posting, I’m strapped onto a table as a huge machine spins around me and radioactive liquid flows through my veins. Woohoo! I keep developing new lumps and lesions despite my clean diet, excessive sleep, and high-dose medication, so I’m crossing my fingers that this time next week my doctor’s will have a better idea of what’s going on inside this lovely body of mine. 🤞

Here are some interesting links from around the web. Feel free to add anything you’ve recently enjoyed in the comments!

The continual improvement this practice spawned was part of Toyota’s success. I asked my team what they thought: did we need a red box?” – Kim Scott, from Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity
A staycation romance. Made my laugh out loud!
