With the unofficial kick off of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, here a few things we’re digging:

• In another beautiful piece in his residency at The Pastry Box Project, Jason Santa Maria ponders life after design.
• Erin Kissane examines what “open” really means for 538, Vox, and The Upshot and the data they’ve released so far.
• A little toot of our own horn: Really Good Emails likes our email newsletter design! If you don’t already receive it, you can subscribe at the botton of this page.
