I learned this week that the travertine stones that make up the Getty Museum are full of fossils.

This week
I wrote this newsletter in advance because I'm on vacation right now. (Thanks to all of you who sent me Beijing recommendations.) So if today's edition seems brief and a little outdated, you know why. It is, in fact, an email blast from the past.

I endorse
101 ways to live more sustainably. This list is helping me question some of my habits and assumptions.
I also realized this week that one of my greatest drug-free highs is setting an out-of-office email auto-responder. Wow, does it feel good.

You endorse
High Country News. "You can buy a digital subscription, but I get the biweekly hard copy in the mail because my favorite part is the back page, aka Heard Around the West, which I recently called the western U.S.'s answer to the Harper's Weekly Review (and I also read that, religiously, because of you). HCN's website calls HAtW 'a longstanding section in the High Country News print edition that captures obscure and absurd tidbits and stories from around the region.' The magazine as a whole has opened my eyes to a range of issues and helps me think more deeply about what it means to be 'from' a place." -Erin Klenow

Testimonials
"I love your newsletter every week, but the links this week are on fire!!!" -Kerry. I love having "on" weeks.
"When I took the plunge to be a paying friend of the Ann Friedman weekly at this time in 2016, I was a (financially) struggling grad student in desperate need of hope, reading, and answers. Two things haven’t changed since then: The political landscape is still hella grim, and being a paying member of the AFW brings me all the joy." -Mallory. I especially appreciate those of you who dedicate some of your precious spending money to fund this newsletter.
