Indulge me, if you will, in getting a few things off my chest:
WTF: Steamrolling your fiancee into changing her name (if you care that much, you better damn well be just as open to changing your own surname).
WTF: Caring more about whether a baby is born, than the quality of life it is going to have as a human for all the years beyond that
WTF: Believing that you, as a non-indigenous person, have more claim to the country that you live in than any other immigrant
I think that helped.

This week’s links (the first link love of 2017, if you can believe it!)
For 90% of us, LESS money is NOT the solution (Couldn’t agree more! People who espouse this sound so hilariously oblivious to me, and I wrote about this exact topic late last year)
How to stop expecting certain things of people
Bullshit reasons not to buy a house, refuted
How to let go of financial regrets
8 money moments for your bucket list
WTF: Our most powerful elected leader is a fascistic toddler and half our population and politicians refuse to acknowledge it.
I really hope the ruling essentially suspending the immigrant/refugee EO sticks. Really the only good thing to happen the last two weeks.
Thanks for the link love and for reading! Great list here, I hadn’t seen the “underlying privilege in minimalism” piece, I’ll have to check that out.
Thanks for the mention! Lots of other good ones here, too!
