Friday Finds: Birth equity, ranked-choice voting, TikTok dances, and more!
In addition to reminiscing about past births and looking forward to my next birth, I spent the better part of my week frantically checking for election updates and fuming, cleaning and rearranging our home, and prepping for an upcoming camping trip. A few nights on Minnesota’s north shore + a few nights near the Boundary Waters has me feeling giddy, a little bit nervous, and eager to disconnect. Give me all your cold-weather camping tips, please!

It would be less than four weeks before those who had felt the confidence that misogyny and racism were disqualifying in the United States had that layer of assurance stripped from them.”

What do you think of ranked-choice voting?
For our next date night, I might ask my partner to learn a few of these dances with me. He’s going to be absolutely thrilled about this, ha!
