This month—which felt like three months—is almost over! Thank god.
Politics
It’s not just you: President Trump also FaceTunes his photos.
Speaking of Trump… what does he mean when he says women are being duct-taped during illegal border crossings? Where did he get that mental image from? No one knows.
National
A really interesting story about how one SF’s emergency room’s billing practices left one woman $24,000+ underwater after a bike accident—and she was insured. (Since the article was published, the woman’s bill was reduced to $200)
International
China has a lot of anime fans, which is a problem because anime generally is an export of Japan (and the two countries don’t have a great history). Politics is everywhere people!!!
More on China: A situation in Poland, involving China’s Huawei, may have exposed U.S.-Polish allied intelligence to China—who may have passed it along to Russia.
Culture
This guy started hitting puberty at the when he was a toddler. Read his fascinating story.
In case you didn’t know: The media had HUGE layoffs in the past week. Around 1,000 were lost—and BuzzFeed isn’t even done firing everyone yet. The threat of layoffs amongst young journos has prompted some (including myself) to take saving very seriously, in case the thing we really don’t want to happen… happens.
This story about Facebook’s “shoegate” in their New York offices is SO hilarious, please read it.
Hair discourse: Ariana rocking Sailor Moon buns and grown women rocking little kiddo high pigtails. (The day I saw the high pigtail article I actually saw a woman in my barre class wearing them. It looked as ridiculous as you could imagine.)
Biz Read: The much raved-about skincare brand, Drunk Elephant, is looking to sell for $1 billion (with a B). Just another testament to how the skincare obsession is still going strong.
Females pumping iron is *not* a trend—we’re here to stay! I remember feeling so intimidated walking into my college gym’s free weight room years ago, but ever since that day I’ve seen so many women of all shapes and sizes rocking their squats, deadlifts, and bicep curls. It’s awesome to see.
Why isn’t the OG Law & Order streaming online?

If you’re obsessed with Meghan Markle/Kate Middleton, listen to this.
If you love foreign films, take time this week/weekend to get ur butt to a theatre and watch this. (It’s an Oscar nominee)
Thats all for now!
