Welcome to the weekend, friends! What do you guys have going on this weekend? Tomorrow I’ll be photographing a city wide bake sale to benefit Syrian refugees. I’m excited I can volunteer in that way because no one wants to eat my baked goods!
As usual, here are pieces of the internet that made me feel things this week.
- The thing on the internet that made me feel the most excited and happy is actually a collaboration of mine. My friends and I started a podcast called I Feel Better. It’s a podcast about the pop culture that makes us feel better. We have two episodes live and you can find us both on iTunes and Soundcloud. We also take time to answer questions from any listeners and since we recorded the first 4 episodes without being public yet, we’ve just been answering our own questions. Come and ask us a few questions? Or tweet us!
- Speaking of podcasts. This was a great episode on This American Life.
- One of my favorite bloggers on her body and shame.
- Mark Bittman and why he quit his dream job at New York Times.
- Penguins are my favorite animal. I want to be a penguin’s soulmate.
- I was one of many that finished Master of None marathon style.
- This Oatmeal comic really hit me hard.
- A rekindled romance 70 years in the making.
- Why do so many incompetent men become leaders?
“In sum, there is no denying that women’s path to leadership positions is paved with many barriers including a very thick glass ceiling. But a much bigger problem is the lack of career obstacles for incompetent men, and the fact that we tend to equate leadership with the very psychological features that make the average man a more inept leader than the average woman. The result is a pathological system that rewards men for their incompetence while punishing women for their competence, to everybody’s detriment.”
