This new picture book about a boy and a stone lion is very touching…and a good way to open a discussion about immigration with one’s children.

If you are in downtown NYC, check out this ship-focused show about migrants and millionaires at the South Street Seaport Museum. (There is a Black Tap milkshake truck parked nearby, if that is an incentive.)

As ever, SorryWatch is on the case…this time internationally! Here’s a good apology from Esquire in the Philippines for insensitivity toward a trans singer, and here’s a bad apology from Mamamia in Australia for fatphobic, fake-solicitous idiocy toward writer Roxane Gay. Lots more good stuff, plus shorter apology thoughts on Facebook and Twitter. 

Have a good Independence Day. I will be watching fireworks, wearing my Yael Kanarek RESIST necklace.
