Octavia Butler, manifesting reality

Hi hi! Here are some lovely and/or meaningful things for you:
 

  1. There's nothing wrong with your nose.
     
  2. Danny Ortberg in praise of museum cafes and little restaurants in botanical gardens.
     
  3. A clever (and difficult!) choose-your-own-adventure Twitter game about how not to get fired as Beyoncé's assistant.
     
  4. Breast milk is only free if we think women's time has no value; the lie of feminist meritocracy.
     
  5. The Cut's podcast, The Cut On Tuesdays, has rapidly become one of my favorites for many reasons, including episodes that feature fiction writers like Taffy Akner and Curtis Sittenfeld reading excerpts of their work and their logical/cheeky sign-off: "See you next Tuesday." 
     
  6. "This web page is also a zine if you print it!"
     
  7. Vogue, whose digital person deserves a raise, has put its entire archive online.
     
  8. Celebrity interlude: Seth Meyers and Rihanna go day drinking (and a supercut of the just-Rihanna-laughing parts), Tan France helps dress John Mulaney, and Nicole Cliffe interviews Alanis. 
     
  9. Related to the above: Jia Tolentino on the growing phenomenon of begging celebrities to kill you.
     
  10. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
    of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
