Welcome to the weekend,
Here’s your weekly dose of the best from around the Internet:
“The effort to know a place deeply is, ultimately, an expression of the human desire to belong, to fit somewhere.” Barry Lopez, author of the incredible Of Wolves and Men, on the cure for existential loneliness.
The rise – and politics – of Instagram Face.
Bob Sassone, columnist at the Saturday Evening Post, still uses a typewriter! Not for every piece, but for first drafts, letters, etc. He shares why in this piece. His thoughts are similar to mine about choosing to write with a fountain pen.
Congratulations to Jason Kottke, over at Kottke.org, which turned 25 years old this month. Two of my favorite posts here and here.
How much do you know about Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland?
Currently reading: Vanity Fair by William Thackeray
Have a relaxing weekend.
