I can't believe it's only been a week. Ready for some Friday happy links?
Rick Steves, Civil Liberties Hero
Pretty sure many of us need this this week: I Stand With This Pic of Joshua Jackson
The Magicians, Syfy's whimsical drama, is 2017's answer to Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I finally watched the first episode of The Young Pope, which is somehow a real TV show, and you probably want to be reading Nicole Cliffe's recaps.
I'm also quite enjoying Taboo, and the British Library has an interesting related post about the East India Company headquarters.
Hero dictionary Merriam-Webster is exploring knitting terminology here and here.
Ooh, 28 Bookish Mugs for Readers. (I have so many mugs. I do not possibly need more. I want ALL THE MUGS.)
Whoa: This Ice Festival in China Is a Rainbow-colored Dream
Useful! How to Pack a Carry-On
Let's make Anglo-Saxon bread.

Morning Coffee (8/29/16)
Me elsewhere: Your TV news for the week!
An adorable story to start your week: Marathon runner on reunion with missing dog, Gobi
Please please watch: AMC's Halt and Catch Fire is set in tech's past. But it just might be TV's future.
In Praise of the Private Email Server (if you aren't Hillary Clinton)
Crimea's champagne makers hope to recreate the Soviet glory days
Interesting: Why Artisanal Cider-Makers Hate the Fizzy Stuff Sold in Six-Packs (I like both kinds! For the record.)
A history of sorority shaming on the internet, from recruitment videos to selfies
From Shakespeare to rock music: the history of the word ‘punk’
The Strange Tale of JFK's Goat-Out-the-Vote Campaign
Huh, I didn't know about this: A Separate Australia
I genuinely don't care what these people are or aren't doing in their private lives, but this is funny: How on Earth Do You Spend Eight Hours With Joshua Jackson?

Morning Coffee (2/19/16)
Happy Friday! Sorry so late - I saw all the animated AND live action shorts last night and then got home completely wired and couldn't sleep until two, so I slept in this morning.
ICYMI: I liked The Hateful Eight more than I expected.
Since a few people have asked recently: If you'd like to help offset the cost of these Oscar posts, you can become a Patreon patron or, if you'd rather make a one-time donation for this project, you can do so through PayPal here.
Let's get your Friday off to a good start with Maggie Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio on the BAFTA Kiss Cam.
And this is the kind of longread you should save for Friday afternoon boredom: Bad Blood the Color of Rubies (It's about a JEWELRY DYNASTY FEUD. It's very dishy, and I want someone to write the novel about the women who end up marrying the central figures.)
It was so kind of Ryan Reynolds to imply that he and Josh Jackson totally made out in high school.
Meet the Most Powerful Woman in Hollywood
This is a really interesting profile of . . . Justin Bieber?!?!
My new goal in life is to make/inherit/marry into enough money to hire the folks at Heywood Hill to make me a library.
I love KonMari parodies: "Burn all your books. We will have a special book incineration ceremony in the town square this weekend followed by a tidiness parade. Please report your friends who do not attend."
Kate Spade is really speaking my language this fall.
One Man's Impossible Quest to Read - and Review - the World
I hope you're ready to really want a bagel.

Morning Coffee (2/28/13)
This is basically the EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE edition. I'm sorry. I will find you a whole list of happy/fun/cute Friday links to make up for it tomorrow.
Please read Fringe actress Jasika Nicole on Quvenzhane Wallis and her own experiences with a "difficult" name, as well as her feelings about the running joke in which her character's name was constantly gotten wrong by an older white male character.
No seriously, if I tell you that her story included things that make me like Joshua Jackson more than I ever had before, will you please read it? Thanks.
Disturbing but important: Photographer as Witness: A Portrait of Domestic Violence
House of Cads: The psycho-sexual ordeal of reporting in Washington (And a lot of other places, really.)
Related: You should be following the Said to Lady Journos Tumblr.
Sexism Fatigue: When Seth MacFarlane Is a Complete Ass and You Don’t Even Notice
Attacked at 19 by an Air Force Trainer, and Speaking Out
The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food
Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us
This piece about the mob in Naples is a little older, but I just read it because it's being developed into a movie, and it's fascinating: The Camorra Never Sleeps
