Links? Links.

Here are some things I read recently but didn't get around to blogging about:

• Sitting in on an anti-bullying session for a classroom of fifth graders
• "The urban highway is a failed experiment."
• A remarkable historical find here in Chicago
• Catching up with the nouveau poor
• A very cool guide to avoiding sexism in campaign coverage
• My kids are too good for public school, and other messages I wish wealthy parents wouldn't telegraph
• When ministers are used by politicians
• Why finish books?
• Novels are good for you!
• Would it be too hopeful to expect this delightful post to be the end of Twitter non-users bashing Twitter?
• This public food forest looks amazing.
• I'd say the upscale-taco-stand thing has jumped the shark.

Links are also posted throughout the day in the right-hand sidebar of my main blog page and in this feed.
