Happy Friday! There's a LOT GOING ON so these links may be less strictly happy than is usual for Fridays. Sorry.
Because first, this is really important: No Boys Allowed: School visits as a woman writer
And the Internet went generally insane yesterday, but this is the big one, yay: The FCC just approved the strongest net neutrality rules yet
The Science of Why No One Agrees on the Color of This Dress
Apparently I don't have a link about the llamas. You remember the llamas.
HOWEVER, there’s a giant owl terrorizing a small Dutch town.
Maybe the world is going crazy because music is going to start coming out on Fridays. What?!?!
Classic Alice has ONE WEEK LEFT. If you could give $5 or even $2 it would be really helpful, I swear.
Jay Carney is going to work for Amazon. Does that mean they'll start commenting on things??
I hope they find Lupita's dress.
Okay, something fun. Lego food!

If you've wondered why I care so much about Classic Alice, this is why.
Bertrice Small has died. I haven't read her - I should rectify that! - but she was so, so important to the romance genre and women in publishing. Two great quotes from that obituary: "I do not write weak women" and "If you're going to undress a heroine, you'd better damn well know what she's got on underneath."
Aaaaah, I'm VERY EXCITED about this Brian Wilson biopic.
Perfect: Boston Is a YA Dystopian Novel
The Punisher: Jeb Bush and the Schiavos
Ooh, they're rebooting DuckTales.
This is much funnier than it sounds: A mysterious tunnel was discovered in a Toronto park. We have many, many questions.
"Edward’s taste tends to run to jewel-encrusted goblets, mahogany armchairs, and tapestries of King Harold being gouged in the eye."

Hahahaha: "Thank every item in your refrigerator deeply – kiss each one of them softly and slowly with your mouth – then prepare for each item a small Viking funeral."
