Growing up, my mother kept a copy of Linda Goodman’s Love Signs on our coffee table. No date or romantic interest escaped a visit to our living room unscathed. (Star Signs, Goodman’s original, held court on our bookshelf for personal perusal.) I’ve referenced Goodman and her books to a lot of people over the years, and surprisingly few have expressed any familiarity, so I feel extremely vindicated to see that she’s the subject of a new non-fiction book. It turns out that “America’s first New Age celebrity,” as Follow The Signs author Courtney Ann LoFaive describes her, had a dark side to her story. After Goodman’s daughter’s death in 1973 was declared a suicide, the astrologist spent her life (and fortune) trying to uncover the real truth. And if you want to read a little more before diving into the book, start here.

Don’t let the name of these gummies mislead you. They’re surprisingly mellow and extremely well-rounded. I’ve been sharing them with nervous friends and popping them for a myriad of circumstances: weekend errands, wine bar dinners, and evening park walks.

This rec is specifically for Gossamer parents. Or aunts, uncles, educators, and anyone else with children in their lives. Yoto, the (basically) screen-free, card-operated audio speaker that’s a huge hit with kids and tablet-averse adults, just released two new packs with Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. Between the Around the World and Growing Up packs, you get a wonderful collection of some of the most culturally significant music from history. Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Pete Seeger, Ella Jenkins—all icons every future music lover should have a base knowledge of. Give your kid the gift of deep-cut knowledge and yourself the gift of a better soundtrack around the house.

If you’re looking for an excuse to unplug and go analog for a few hours If you're looking for an excuse to unplug and go analog for a few hours (and don't mind doing it with strangers), here's your moment. Camp Crayola is a one-day, no-kids-allowed experience where you can draw, explore “themed coloring cabins” (whatever those are), and try out Crayola's new adult line of alcohol and acrylic markers. I can't promise this is actually going to be cool, but enough adults in my life love to color that I'd be remiss not to mention it in case our readers share the same passion. And in case it sucks, there's a dispensary right next door. Monday, June 22nd in Domino Park.
