Weâve got our hands full this weekendâbuying raksha bandhan gifts for our pesky siblings, watching Jason Momoa wage war in 18th-century-Hawaii, and deep-diving into all things mahjong.
August 1 (yes, today) is International Mahjong Day, so if youâve been side-eyeing the hype, this is your excuse to get in the game. Scroll through our roundup of all the classes, open communities, and events that need to be on your radar. Raksha bandhanâthat sacred day when siblings pretend they havenât spent the last 364 days bickeringâis also right around the corner (August 9). Weâve got a suggestion for whatever weird phase, personality reboot, or delusion your sibling is currently living through, so buy your gifts now. Still have more time on your hands? We just revealed our August Nod Book Club pick and it's a fun one! If heavy book club titles scare you off, or if reading has felt like a chore lately, Remarkably Bright Creatures might just be the one to pull you back in. Scroll for more on The Nod.
