Published in June, 2021

I was among the lucky people who found themselves with more work than usual during the pandemic. As things have started opening back up, my work load has not changed. But as I find myself budgeting more time for shuttling kids to activities, something has to give, and so far that something has been blogging. I was going to post two months’ worth of links but the post got too long. So, better late than never, here is part two (the June part) of a round up of articles I wrote that were published in May and June.

A Better Brew: Drinking Beer Sustainably

Are Corporate Claims of Regenerative Agriculture Real?

The Wide World of Sustainable Wine

Getting Started with Carbon Offsets

And these articles were reprinted in June:

ParentMap

Only one new article in ParentMap in June, but it’s kind of a special one: The Eli’s Park Project. And my article Cheap Summer Movies: Cool Off at a Bargain Family Film had its annual reprinting.

Seattle Times

Seattle woman created a children’s TV show for people of color, and it’s racking up international awards

Review: Why Seattle Opera’s ‘Tosca’ is worth staying indoors for

How Seattle Opera became one of few companies nationwide to pull off an all-digital season

Crooked Road

When I came back to social media in June … I didn’t really come back much. I only published six posts in June (not counting this one) and even though I collected stats before the month was completely over, it’s clear that traffic has dropped. C’est la vie. I own this blog, not the other way around.

Popular Posts

As usual, Amnesia, The Ultimate K-drama Trope, was the most-viewed post. My impressions of Pacific Northwest Ballet’s final digital program, Rep 6, was (alas, a distant) second. My resume came in third! That was a first. And the next two posts got the same number of views:

Drunken Piggyback Ride

Uniqlo Airism Mask Review

Common Queries

Unsurprisingly, seven of the top 10 search terms that led to someone visiting my site were variations on “Kdrama amnesia” (see above). My own name ranked third in the search terms, and “uniqlo mask review” was somewhere in the middle. The only remaining search term out of the top 10 was “childhood love korean drama.”
