…because I read cool stuff too!

Death is at the heart of these beautiful pieces in NYT magazine and Business Insider. NYT Magazine features beautiful writing by an oncologist losing his wife to cancer, and Business Insider has a touching profile on Silicon Valley’s late Christopher Welch. Tissues required.

In that vein, shout-out also to Buzzfeed’s more than excellent John Green interview.

Amazing pieces on feminism again- this one from Vox, about why competent women are being bypassed by overconfident men, talks about fear of failure and differing perceptions in entitlement for women- and explains why a lot of workplaces are dominated by jerks. And and and! THIS everyone must read: why feminism has made the world a better place for everyone, a list of 23 groundbreaking accomplishments, from boosting the economy to paid sick days – for the next time Shailene Woodley gets confused.

Things I watched from a while ago: Rookie’s Ask A Grown Man with Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich because if cute ever needs a definition, it can go hook up and be codependent with this video.

And it’s always a good day to watch a tUnE yArDs video. Smiling is good for the soul.
