Kathy Escobar gives some lovely ideas for Lent for folks with shifting faith, or who feel lost. Needed this.
even though i am a person who enjoys this season for the most part, i notice that some of the stuff i read makes me cringe a little. it can feel so exclusive, only for a certain group who speaks a certain language. it can feel privileged, seemingly irrelevant to many people without resources or margin. it can feel contrived, a little like christmas where there are actually 11 other months of the year where our hearts are supposed to be just as open to God and others.

But how does a type-centered approach to layout look on the web? And how does such a process work with the fluidity of the web to produce unique, engaging compositions at any viewport size?
So I’ve composed this reading list for experience, design, and strategy based on what’s most readable and reference-able. Many of these are short, fast, and compelling reads that are more fun and fascinating than burdensome to plod through. My hope is that these are the right speed and shape so that you’ll get them into your brain.
