Leanne Hays, SEO Content Strategist Crewel Embroidery ($27, FoundByAPropStylist on Etsy) I’ve been drawn to crewel embroidery since childhood. Something about the three-dimensional aspect combined with the hours invested makes each piece a treasure. I visit Etsy and eBay to expand my collection, and just purchased this gorgeous still life. I love the ‘70s color scheme and satisfyingly fluffy chrysanthemums. Cullen Thomas, Writer & Producer Arc of Justice by Kevin Boyle (Audiobook available on Audible for $26.21) This epic historical legal drama paints a rich picture of Jazz Age Detroit to tell the story of the murder trial of Dr. Ossian Sweet. It digs deep into race-driven political dramas that continue to shape the American landscape.

The first US human space flight in nearly a decade, this event acted as the final test flight to vet the company’s future plans to offer a private air shuttle service. Side note: This was no ordinary space shuttle. SpaceX equipped the Falcon 9 rocket with touchscreens, automation technology, and custom space suits for the astronauts aboard it. THE NUMBERS 700,000 While virtual reality has struggled to find its way into people’s everyday use, the pandemic has virtual tourism on the minds of many. Take Finland, for example. The…

When on a FaceTime video call, how can you add another person to the existing call? Sincerely, Includer Howdy Includer, Once you’ve started a FaceTime call with someone, touch the screen and you’ll see a menu at the bottom of the display. Drag it up to fill the screen, and you’ll see a list of members of the call as well as a button to add another person. How can I tell how many contacts I have? Sincerely, Many Friends Hi Many Friends, The Contacts app has squirreled away the answer to your question at the bottom of your contacts list. Just open the Contacts app or Contacts tab in the Phone app, then scroll all the way to the bottom. If you want to scroll faster, you can swipe along the alphabet on the right. I like keeping my…
