Weekend Reads: Not normal
So, I've decided that I'm going to use a section at the bottom of Weekend Reads to catalog the not normal things that are happening in the US and politics in general. It might be pessimistic or hopeful depending on my mood and swaying sense of optimism. It's one small way to remind myself that this stuff isn't ok and that this stuff cannot be normalized, no matter how much humor can be found in our situation (thank you SNL, Samantha Bee, John Oliver, Colbert, and Trevor Noah). If you find things you'd like me to add, share them in the comments and I'll include them in the following week's list.
