This and That
(A sunny spot in my house this week.)
This week felt really productive for me, and I helped the boys get ready to celebrate Valentine’s Day at school. We don’t do much for the holiday, and this year, Ryan and I are going to see Fifty Shades of Grey. You know, for laughs. This New York Times article calls it a comedy, which we enjoy, so why not? I hope you enjoy the day, too, and here are a few things that caught my eye this week.
Diane Guerrero of “Orange is the New Black” and “Jane the Virgin” talks about her family’s immigration issues.
Jamie Brewer, an actress and activist with Down Syndrome, will walk in a show at New York Fashion Week.
The hypocrisy of the Grammys. I’m frustrated by Katy Perry’s “female empowerment” platform, just one week after she performed at the NFL’s Super Bowl.
Community college is real college. I had the same experience, and this essay is so good.
Google Doodle’s tribute to Laura Ingalls Wilder was really adorable. And fascinating.
A short Lego film that is also fascinating.
I don’t buy into the whole French-women-as-idols thing, but I can get behind this day at the gym.
And this comic’s political makeup tutorials are the best.
Have a great weekend!
Very pretty oval artwork. That is a good essay – my community college experience was excellent. 🙂
Hope your weekend is good too!
Thank you; it belonged to my grandmother. I’m glad you liked the article on community college; it was so well done. Happy Valentine’s Day!
I loved that Google doodle! It made me smile as soon as I saw it.
I hope you have a great weekend. 🙂
I had some storybooks as a child that used felt dolls as the characters, too. I think that’s what caught my eye first.
