1. I devoured Orange is the New Black (the book) over the weekend. (Show is on my list.) So, I enjoyed this interview with author Piper Kerman. The interview to a certain extent and the book itself juggle a tricky balance in recognizing the fact that she had committed illegal acts that were deserving of punishment; that her circumstances and support system before, during, and after were not the norm; and that it was an interesting society.
2. As I look around and discover I swear I had more August left a second ago, I found this post about glowsticks quite poignant.
3. My lovely chapter mate Hope Ramsay is hosting a knit-along to collect hats for the Hatbox Foundation.
