On our latest weekly roundup, it's musical bedrooms at Terri's house, and she now has her very own office!

What we're watching: We continued with season 1 of Reservation Dogs with episodes 3 and 4 ("Uncle Brownie" and "What About Your Dad"). The kids are having a rough go of it, but the show remains quite enjoyable to watch.

We also spent some time discussing the Oscar nominees and not-nominees. Mentioned: Drinks with Broads, the Fug Girls' newsletter that makes for a great accompaniment to, or substitute for, watching awards shows on TV.

Catherine's library find this week is not a book, but a website called Book Marks, which is an aggregator of book reviews. Use it to quickly check the critical consensus on a book you're curious about. Or just read the Most Scathing Book Reviews of 2023.

In the archives, we revisit episodes in which we discussed support without smothering (February 2, 2023); the misery of making phone calls, volume 1 (January 29, 2020) and volume 2 (February 4, 2019); and teaching kids resilience (January 29, 2018). Mentioned: The EconTalk podcast discussing the book Fluke by Brian Klaas.

Next week, we'll watch the next two episodes of Reservation Dogs, season 1: Episode 5, "Come and Get Your Love," and 6, "Hunting." Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
