I appreciate this list of quality news sources to check out. One thing I am always trying to be mindful of (but not always successfully) is diversifying my news sources. Supporting POC writers and journalists not only broadens my perspective on how the events of the world are affecting different groups, but is a form of activism in itself as the current regime seeks to dismantle DEI and silence non-white voices. I don't follow any newsy substacks yet (I mostly follow folks on Insta but am hoping to transition if they do), but Pod Save the People is a good podcast, and Indian Country Today is news source made by Native Americans. I just learned about Capital B, a women led news website featuring Black journalists for the Black community. I'll be researching substack possibilities so I'll share what I discover! I'd love to hear other folks' suggestions as well!

Chop Wood, Carry Water by Jessica Craven is another great substack resource for daily activism ideas. She also sends a Sunday newsletter summarizing the good news of the week - very much needed these days!

Don't know if it counts as a mini-moon, but we just stayed a few extra nights in the hotel we booked for the wedding which was lovely and quiet because most of our guests were gone after the weekend. We could be lazy or go out into the city for food and just be. A friend stayed in our apartment to walk our dog. One less thing to think about so we could relax and giggle about suddenly being "husband and wife."

We mini-mooned in Chatham cape cod at the Chatham inn (a bit of a drive, but so cute and charming and incredible food!) they probably have deals this time of year. The hotel in Kingston the previous commenter mention is Hotel Kingsley and we stayed there for a close friend’s wedding and it is super charming as well and walkable to the town. The roundhouse in Beacon is also a lovely stay, especially the honeymoon suite!! Soaking tub and large private balcony!

Mini moon— beacon is lovely for Airbnb, but there’s a really nice hotel in Kingston that I stayed at for a media assignment and LOVED. Hutton brickyards riverfront hotel. Big fan.
