👩‍💻 EDITOR’S PICK

From Silsila Bahrami, Contributing Editor

“To all my Canadians — I love this service for cheap and affordable fresh fruits and vegetables delivered straight to your door. ​Odd Bunch​ sources ‘imperfect’ and surplus produce and ships them out weekly at affordable prices. You can request substitutions if there’s an item you don’t want to receive and the company even offers organic boxes if that’s your preference! If you’re in the UK, OddBox offers a similar service!)” [​Check them out​]

💛 READER LOVE

A reader comment we love:

“​One intrinsic motivator for me​ is a desire for learning. I sometimes desire to go back to school and finish my degree. But the new ‘curriculum’ trend helped me realize that I don’t have to get external validation to learn. So I’m going to do a quarter 4 curriculum!”
