Happy Friday! Here are the links I love for the week:
- What are the chances of you being here? A graphic-heavy but celebrate life-y poster on the miracle that is Y-O-U!
- The poverty line: What does being poor actually look like? (A photo essay of food a person living below the poverty line could buy from Foreign Policy.)
- Happy International Women's Day! Amy Chua profiles four female tycoons in China who bucked tradition to get very, very rich. I especially like the first sentence, "Like a relentless overachiever, China is eagerly collecting superlatives."
- Baked omelette with asparagus recipe from La Tartine Gourmand (You must recreate this but not before checking out the lovely photos of eggs and things in the same post!)
- How can you be smart, pretty and (less) awkward?
- The Myth of Funemployment from Thought Catalog. Look, I know I shouldn't be wasting your time by linking TC articles but this one's too close to an impending quarter-life crisis to resist.
- On Art & "Literature": The end of an era--Prospero writes that the beguiling lure of Chick Lit is finally waning. Also, a really nice article about the Steins in Paris, acquiring Matisse and Picasso like it's nobody but their family's business.
Random, but greatly recurring thought: I want a bulldog so bad.
Ogling puppies at the pet store every weekend is counterproductive but I can't help it,
