a rebellious little list of good things

Made it to Friday, and lawdy-me, this week was so much lovelier than last! Marcus’ little gift certainly was a boost, but so was the sweet card I received from a friend with a golden feather tucked inside, as well as a few nice things that I did for myself along the way. I’d say I’m at 100% now — just in time to really enjoy the weekend. Alleluia.

And so, to help bring a little light and love to your weekend, here are a few wonderful things:

• I mentioned reading a book by Ross Gay, and I’m so not kidding, if you haven’t read anything by him, then you need to fix this. He’s our kind of people. Start with this bestseller.

• I’m really, really conflicted about AI, but this is pretty great.

Donkeys apparently changed the course of human history. Who knew?

• Did you know a comet — unceremoniously named “Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF)” — is currently visible to the naked eye in the northern hemisphere? Here’s how you can find it.

• And in the spirit of joy being an ultimate act of rebellion, here are some joyous images of Lunar New Year celebrations around the world.

Have a lovely weekend, you radiant rebels, you.
