Sunday Scroll #104

6 ways AI actually makes my life easier, advice for your TBR pile, + my holy grail skincare product

Happy Sunday! How are you today? Spiritually, I am in fall. I’m cranking the AC down to 68 and wearing sweaters and dreaming of the day I put mums on the porch . . . in November. (Florida problems!!)

3. FWIW, this advice about talking to teenagers is pretty accurate.
