For your stray attention this weekend

Give bees a chance! And a book I absolutely love

Hello,

Usually, I try to compile a collection of links that make some kind of coherent sense for you all to read, something with a theme. But this week’s collection really is governed by stray attention, the kind of consciousness that descends upon you in the summer, when you’re half-working and half-looking after kids, and you’re a bit unsettled and bored and lazy, and you will happily lose half an hour to a long article about the nature of reality. You know, the good times. 

These are the best things I’ve read in the past few weeks.
