Links as Far As the Eye Can See

I’m working on a longer project about houseplants, which will be in your inbox sometime next week, but wanted to share some contextualizing, informative, delicious, and otherwise worthwhile links for the week — from the best pieces I’ve read on the situation in Ukraine to the children’s book that will almost certainly make you a huge hit, and of course this week’s Just Trust Me.

None of these are affiliate links save to Bookshop — where all affiliate funds go directly to the next quarter’s round of Culture Study Mutual Aid. (Current total: $1294).

(This is also a version of what subscribers get every week in their inbox, tacked to the end of the Sunday newsletter — if you’ve been looking for a push to subscribe, maybe this is it.)
