*NEW FEATURE* Recap Saturday!

Welcome to the weekend and to our newest feature here at Generation Yes: Recap Saturday!  Each week you'll have the opportunity to catch up on whichever blog posts you may have missed, and also check out the kind of things young adults around the country and the world have been thinking, saying, and creating.

What you may have missed this week while you were busy out there in the world:

On Monday, we meditated on this quotation from T.H. White's The Once and Future King (and officially closed comments on meditation posts from  now on.)

Tuesday informed us, among other things, that we're not really engaging in political activism on the web---we're just showing off.

Wednesday had us wondering whether it's possible to abide by the fourth principle of Unitarian Universalism---"a free and responsible search for truth and meaning"---online.

On Thursday we started compiling a soundtrack for young adulthood (and added a "like" button to posts. You should use it!)

Friday posed the question: what's your ultimate concern?


What various talented, curious, truly awesome young adults have been up to:

Anonymous YAs in Cape May, New Jersey---members of Salty Knits---have been engaged in a guerrilla knitting project, beautifying their neighborhoods by knitting and purling under the cover of darkness:



Tiny Furniture, a film by 23 year-old Lena Dunham, won the narrative jury prize at this year's South by Southwest festival:

Today's comment question: what have you been up to lately? Are there any projects you're excited to be working on? Do you have any plans for the weekend? 

Have fun doing whatever it is you do---I'll see you Monday morning!
