a sunday link roundup
Time ran away from me today and now I’m watching the Oscars, so I didn’t have time to write a proper newsletter essay today — but I do have a ton of great links I’ve been reading over the last couple of weeks. Enjoy!
Good things to read

Good things to cook
What I’ve cooked lately: sesame tofu and broccoli. Pizza beans. Thai turkey burgers. Sesame salmon bowls. Taco chili (while this recipe calls for chicken, I used beef, and you can really modify it however you want).
I’ve recently come to suspect that I may have accidentally curated myself into an even tinier bubble, as every ‘links, links!’ email I get consists solely of the same 5 great things I’ve already read. Well, or the culture has just shrunk :) Either way, this all looks great and I haven’t read any of it, so thanks!
