Cool things I read in June

Since publishing my first monthly roundup at the end of 2020, it has been an honour to introduce you to some of my favourite bloggers. I started the roundup to say thank you to the blogging community and bring attention to talented writers who create inspiring and informative content.

Here are 3 pieces that captured my attention in June.

The Kindness Report #15 – The Japanese Tradition that Stunned the FIFA World Cup 2026 – Aspiring Blog

I just love the Kindness Report series and this post is a reminder of why leaving things better than we found them matters, and the impact it can have.

What actually happened in Dallas was a quiet demonstration of something most of us recognise but rarely practice – the instinct to leave a place a little better than you found it, purely because that’s what respect looks like in action.

Easy Ways to Conserve Water During Summer Water Restrictions – A Sustainably Simple Life

In recent years, summer has become synonymous with water restrictions. As British Columbia faces strict water restrictions thanks to lower-than-normal snowfall last winter, this informative post offers simple ways we can cut our household water use.

We are literally surrounded by water—oceans at our feet, rivers running beside cities, lakes to run away to on weekends. There is so much water. But that does not mean we have an unlimited supply of potable drinking water.

Thoughts on Community – Existential Ergonomics

Are online friendships any less real than relationships? In this inspiring post, Erin offers thoughts on why proximity isn’t a requirement for community and connection.

But maybe the weirdness is only because we have been taught to treat “online” as if it were somehow less real. My own experience has been the opposite. Some of the most formative friendships I’ve had began in the digital spaces where people were simply showing up as themselves.
