Have a Cozy Weekend. | Cup of Jo

What are you up to this weekend? The boys and I might go to Coney Island — the rollercoasters are already open for the season! I’ve also been reading a great book about a magpie, of all things. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web…

Who will be joining the Hands Off! Day of Action tomorrow? We will be in Manhattan.

Have you seen the new show The Studio? I’ll watch anything with Seth Rogen’s laugh.

A fun Tetris-like chicken game, if you’re tired of Wordle. (via Kottke)

This summer shirt has the perfect silhouette.

“I want to be rich and I’m not sorry.” “A guy friend from college believed he was complimenting me by musing, ‘Who would have thought Jess Knoll would have been the success story from our class?’ Who would have thought? Me. I did.” (NYTimes gift link; tw: assault)

The White Lotus hotel staff on their break, hahaha.

Wouldn’t your jaw drop if you walked into this house and saw its colorful staircase?

Harling Ross Anton collaborated on the dreamiest nightgowns.

Omg Pedro Pascal is so charming!

A man and his dog, sob.

Finally, the 13 beauty products we always finish (they’re so good!!!) on Big Salad. xoxo

Plus, three reader comments:

Says Alison what do you like about the way you look: “I so resonated with your observations of women out in the world. Sometimes I find myself at the grocery store silently admiring the women – of varying ages – selecting produce. All so unique and beautiful!”

Says Whitney what do you like about the way you look: “I love when our family is laughing at the dinner table, and my husband says to our kids, ‘You all have your mom’s smile, and it’s beautiful.’”

Says Lindsey on what do you like about the way you look: “I’m in my mid-40s and I love how much more I look like my mom with each passing year. She has been dead for almost 10 years and sometimes when I look in the mirror and see her looking back at me, I feel closer to her.” Replies Mouse: “Same, my dear. I’m 65 and my mother has been gone for 50 years. When I have felt critical of the way I look I have also felt that it can’t be bad because it looks like my mother. It keeps her in the world. Xx to you.”
