Iโ€™m excited to bring back our old school (or skool?) web coolness, and share some of the articles Iโ€™ve been reading this past week. Consider this all stuff Iโ€™d share on my own personal Facebook and Twitter feeds. And if youโ€™re already following me, then my apologies in advance for the repeats.

Geoffrey Fowlerโ€™s piece about Facebookโ€™s Off Facebook Activity tracker prompted me to write a post on Cool Mom Tech about it. If you were already skeptical about Facebook, this will probably make it a whole lot worse. Itโ€™s eye-opening.

I appreciated Jill Krauseโ€™s reminder on Facebook to be kind to our brains.

Our dear friend Asha Dornfest is bringing back personal blogging. I loved this piece on being more thoughtful about what weโ€™re amplifying on our platforms.

As my kids get older, I am realizing there is no end to parenting. Itโ€™s not easier, just different. Our friend Meagan Francis writes about parenting her 18-year old on NBC News.

White Male Rage on SNL

I got a kick out of this SNL Weekend Update skit addressing the lack of female (and diverse people) nominees at the Oscars. Just warning you: The song is pretty catchy. Itโ€™s highlighted in Vanity Fair piece by Christopher Rosen.

Lara Zarum captures why Iโ€™m so obsessed with Cheer on Netflix (my Cool Pick of the Week on this past weekโ€™s Spawned podcast, by the way).

Iโ€™m by no means a foodie, but I love what Danielle Centoni did โ€“ blind tasting a bunch of tomato soups. Brilliant!

And Zoe Fenson talks about why women are so damn exhausted which is also something Ada Calhoun is talking about (but in a sort of different way).
