The Top 5 articles for your week:

1. “They Believe in Ambitious Women. But They Also See the Costs.” (NYT)

   Because this article is absolutely fascinating. The NYT went back to young women they interviewed in 2016 and asked if their opinions on women in leadership have changed and how.

2. “Changed by art” (Aeon Magazine)

   Because a psychologist “offer[s] evidence…for two seemingly opposite ways in which art can improve our wellbeing – by allowing us to escape, and by allowing us to confront and understand negative emotions.”

3. “Everyone is tired. We need to give ourselves an actual break.” (Washington Post)

   Because “The United States has never had a great understanding of leisure, let alone actual rest.” YUP!

4. “Eastern University has served as the evangelical left’s laboratory” (The Christian Century)

   Because it’s an inside-look at institution-building from “the evangelical left.”

5. “Chauvin Was Convicted. Something Is Still Very Wrong.” (NYT)

   Because this Liz Bruenig op-ed on forgiveness caused some heated discussion and stark reactions on Twitter.
