What are you up to this weekend? We’re heading home from England, and I’ve missed this Cup of Jo community so much! Looking forward to catching up on Monday, and in the meantime, here are a few links from around the web…

Madewell is having their end-of-the-season-sale, and this top and bag are on my summer wish list.

What New Yorkers are reading at the beach. “Seems like it’s gonna be an emotional roller coaster… I feel like I know these characters in real life.” (NYMag)

Corn fritters look delicious.

I downloaded this movie to watch on the flight, eeks.

The science behind the emotions in Inside Out 2. “Ennui is so funny and wonderful and really maps onto the natural disdain and over-it-ness teenagers can have for everything.”

My dad and I have been duking it out on NYT Wordle, and it’s been fun to compare scores each morning.

Wow, what a comfortable living room.

And how beautiful is this pink bedroom? (You can scroll through.)

We featured Chanel Miller on Big Salad today — did you read her 2019 memoir about being sexually assaulted? Here, she shares her new middle grade novel, her favorite pants, and the life advice Oprah gave her. Read the interview here, if you’d like.

The trailer for Severance Season 2.

Busted, haha.

Plus, three reader comments:

Says Julie on have a beautiful week: “I got an official autism assessment and diagnosis at 39 (my therapist shared her findings just this week), and I’m swimming in a lot of ‘What now?’ It’s a relief to more deeply understand why so many things that seem easy for others are difficult for me, but there’s grief in realizing that it will cost me a lot to fully ‘unmask.’ Some Instagram accounts that have helped me learn and feel less alone: @iampayingattention, @cindyrobinsonllc, and @christinedoyle.ie. And if anyone has recs for Black or Indigenous autism/neurodivergent accounts, please share.”

Says Lyn on my vacation confession: “My husband and I were on vacation in Miami this spring (without kids), and as we were walking on the boardwalk after dinner one night, we passed a family of parents (mid 60s) and adult kids (early 20s). As we crossed paths, the son was saying, ‘Let’s all just try to enjoy this BEAUTIFUL EVENING.’ And we were laughing so much because oh my god it never ends and eventually it’s the kids saying what the parents used to say.”

Says Kathryn on have a beautiful week: “I LOVED My Lady Jane. It was funny, entertaining, and visually beautiful. I found myself telling people about my friend Jo’s friend Gemma’s show. I totally felt secondhand pride in her. Way to go, Gemma!”
