ย 
Hello my friends! ย We’re in it, aren’t we? ย Are these the dog days of summer?
I hope you’re taking it easy this weekend. ย I hope you’re lying low, drinking lemonade, and dangling your feet in a cool swimming pool.
Here’s what’s on my mind and on the Internet this week:
โข ย Turn On, Retweet, Tune Out – on our fleeting #empathy.
โข ย Jonathan theย 182 year old tortoise. ย Slow and steady forever and ever.
โข ย So there’s this company called Personal Audio that claims to have the legit patent on aaaallll podcasts. ย They’ve demanded cash-money from podcasts large and small according to their patent. ย Essentially they’re going after popular podcasts in an effort to make some quick money and essentially it’s a really crappy thing to do. ย They got more than they bargained for when they went after Adam Carolla. ย Adam Carolla Won’t Let Company Drop Podcast Patent Infringement Case Against Him.
โข ย I love these dreamy pictures ofย Old California. ย
โข ย Watch this full screen becauseย The World’s Most Extraordinary Wavesย deserve at least that much respect. ย The thought of these kinds of waves coming at me gives me a half-panie (aka half panic attack).
โข ย A veryย accurate list ofย Ten Things Not To Do As A New Yorker Visiting LA. ย
โข ย Raspberry Peach Sorbet Kombucha Floats! ย I’m all the way into it.
โข ย An important documentary about a teenager sentenced to life in prison without parole. ย 15 to Life: Kenneth’s Story.
โข ย It’s going to take me years to fully appreciate the nuance of New Orleans cuisine. ย The bookย Eat Dat New Orleansย is a very helpful guide.
โข ย “I don’t need feminism becauseย women *already* make up an equal number of CEOs, if you include Chicks Eating Oreos.”ย ย No To Feminism. ย Thank you Twitter.
โข ย Tracy shared this gem with me and it’s just toooooo real: ย 17 Things Women Without Children Are Tired Of Hearing. ย “It must be nice to have so much free time.” ย Oh my gosh shhuuutttt uuupppp.
Happy Sunday! ย I love you bye-bye!

Killer round-up. Let it Be Sunday should be called Let it Be Amazingโฆ
Thanks so much for the link love! <3 <3
I may not have a ton of free time, but I definitely had enough this weekend to make a salted caramel cheesecake (you enabler of cheesecake decadence, you). My child even helped, from a morale standpoint. I can’t wait until he’s old enough and then I’m going to train him to make dougnuts.
hahah! train him to make doughnuts. such a smart mama!
I seriously love the 17 things women without children are tired of hearing! Made my day!
Love your roundup.
1. I hope you’ve seen this: https://confusedcatsagainstfeminism.tumblr.com/
2. DYING over that new yorker visiting LA post.
3. Wishlisted that New Orleans food guide. I just found out I’ll be visiting New Orleans in October! I’m so excited, it’s been at the top of my travel list for over 5 years.
I don’t know if it’s considered a compliment…..but whenever my sons tell me they love me more than anything else in the world!
that “women against feminism” twitter is PERFECT. oh man.
Literally the only link round-up post where I have to read every piece. I don’t want to do it, Joy. But errytime. THEY’RE JUST SO INTRIGUING.
that’s rad, girl! high-five!
Love this list! I especially love that Buzzfeed for women without children. You’re the best Joy!
Another reason you’re awesome-love for the childless ladies! Cause God knows we don’t get it anywhere else! Keep up the good work ;)
I love the inclusion of the hilarious “17 Things Women Without Children Are Tired Of Hearing!” Nothing like a great shoutout to your fellow child-free ladies. :)
You’ve been killing it lately with these posts. Your ‘let if be Sunday’ and posts on Compassion made me like you all the more ! (& I already liked you a lot :). The last link made me LOL- I’ve also heard ‘but don’t you think you’re being a little bit selfish??’ Blerg!
happy New Orleans Sunday Joy!
More great links to put on my reading list for the week! Happy Sunday Joy — and thank you much for the shout out! So pleased you enjoyed the evidence of my trespassing =)
Oh I’m totally a Meta Stresser. Yikes. And those waves (and ominous music) were terrifying! Happy Sunday Joy!!
Somehow in all this “women don’t need feminism” crap I missed that twitter account. Thanks! I especially love “I don’t need femisim because if you don’t want to be harassed just don’t wear revealing clothes! or any other amount of clothes don’t go out” considering I was harassed yesterday while riding my bicycle. I guess maybe my helmet was too revealing :p
As a 33-year-old feminist Angeleno, THANK YOU, Joy! Happy Sunday :)
And childless.
we understand each other!
Happy Sunday ;)
Oh, i really needed a Let it be Sunday! Thanks so much lady. Now off to the farmer’s market!
Happy Sunday …to you too – I love reading these – now i will go cook
That abandoned house is stunning! And wooooow. I’m beyond impressed at both the waves and the people surfing them. I now am torn between wanting to stay safe on the beach or joining in.
Speaking of the dog days of summer, here in Ohio its still too cool so I have not even come close to those hot humid days we usually get. I love the last comment women without children are tired of hearing. I’m older, wiser and have stepchildren. I remember years ago at a business party with my husband this women leaned over and said to me “You must be so bored with all the time you have on your hands”. I was in between jobs also. Putting it politely out of work and she also said “your not working my god what do you do”. I smiled and said, “when your rich sweetie I do whatever I want to do and I am having a ball”. I wasn’t rich but at the time I was having a ball. Love my step children but never regretted not having them. Have a wonderful Sunday Joy. Paulette
