It’s summertime in Vermont. Time for sunny days and warm weather. And time to catch up with friends over a great meal for lively conversation. Here are our monthly top picks for conversation starters this month — a recap our five favorite links from around the web in June. And read on to discover the top five stories from here on the Change Conversations blog.

 

## Monthly top picks: 5 links we loved in June

### 1. Good Jobs

"People want a good job; they don't want informal jobs or self-employment out of necessity." Gallup cites a greater than 50% unemployment rate worldwide, using what seems to me to be a low standard for the definition of a "good job." Using [Gallup's definition](http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/183527/everyone-world-wants-good-job.aspx), a rural, moonlighting state like Vermont is likely to show a sky high unemployment rate.  **#SharingEconomy  #VermontJobs**

 

### 2. Positive Change #LoveWins

No question about this news: "Gay Marriage Upheld by Supreme Court in Close Ruling." The [New York Times](http://hubs.ly/y0XlWK0) tells you all the facts, but we love it when powerful brands show "[Rainbow Pride for Historic SCOTUS Ruling](http://www.brandchannel.com/2015/06/26/scotus-logos-062615/?utm_campaign=150626-scotus-brands&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email)."

**#LoveWins**

### 3. Gotcha! 

Mashable wrapped up the best 16 on-point responses from [female scientists](http://hubs.ly/y0V8M-0) to a Nobel prize winner's sexist comments.

**#distractinglysexy**

### 4. Walk the Talk

The [Seattle Girl Scouts Council](http://seattlemet.com/articles/2015/…%20http://www.seattlemet.com/articles/2015/6/29/donor-says-girl-scouts-can-t-use-100k-gift-for-transgender-girls) turned down $100k donation after being asked to exclude transgender girls.** #WayToGoGirls**

**#WalkTheTalk**

### 5. Monthly Obsession - Music

All the fuss about Taylor Swift and the rollout of [Apple Music](http://www.apple.com/music/) had us talking, comparing services and listening to music more than ever in June. While [Songza](http://songza.com/) and Pandora are current favorite streaming services, who knows how we'll feel after playing with new choices...

**#musicforever**
