1. Chelsea recently recommended this series from Slate, and I gotta say, it is fascinating to read a couples’ dialogue about what they fight about (and clearly see which one is being unreasonable, imo).
2. Currently salivating over this hummingbird cake recipe, OMG.
3. I am always here for bridal party email drama, fictional and non, and this excerpt from an upcoming book from Buzzfeed did not disappoint.

But the way I make the smaller choices available to me belies that calm and smug conclusion. Every few months, I pay to make myself look like myself again. For now, it’s a bargain I’m willing to make.” From a beautiful piece about the money a writer spends just to look like “herself.”
5. This Racked exploration of how fashion brands are, for some reason, obsessed with clementines was extremely entertaining.
6. This New Yorker article about watching The Breakfast Club during the #MeToo era was very well-written and thoughtful.

9. Some people saw Daniel Day-Lewis with a flip phone on the subway, which is kind of delightful.
10. ICYMI: Read what journaling every day for six years did for one writer’s life!
