Stop Doomscrolling. Enjoy These Websites and Newsletters.

By Karen and Erica

As one respite from overwhelming political news, we like to look at websites, and subscribe to newsletters, that show us places and food and art and clothes and design we aspire to, and are inspired by. Quite a few newspapers, magazines, shops and galleries offer academic level articles or videos that also give us excellent diversions.

We enjoy those on the list below. We invite you to rummage around, and we especially invite you to add to the list. What we all need now is to at least think about some fun.
