In case it’s news, Kelly Mantoan of Kelly’s Seven Quick Takes over at This Ain’t the Lyceum has decided that it’s time to put an end to the 7QT weekly linkup. As stated last week, however, I’m going to keep this going. So here ya go.

Skipping the AV this week due to time constraints: I’m working on having some Thanksgiving/holiday prep content for compulsive overeaters. Have a great weekend.

Thanks for reading, listening & watching, fellow image-bearers.
