Other things to do
Something to listen to: Axios has revamped their daily podcast into a weekly episode focusing on one big thing in the news. I loved their other podcast and I’m excited for this one!
Something else to read: I am finally reading Fourth Wing and oh man. I was not ready and this might become a new defining feature of my personality!
Something to watch: I work from home and typically have a podcast or a tv show on in the background. I found a back log of Shark Week episodes and have been playing them nonstop while I work!
