A quick hello and round up of EXCELLENCE from the web, and then I am off to celebrate the weekend. Enjoy…
First, this PSA from my friend April Fiet:
I usually close the pick of the clicks with a link to whatever was the most read on my blog this week, but this week I’m starting with my favorite link for the week – an artistic rendering from Corrie Haffly based on this week’s 5-day #ACourageousOne series. Corrie took a quote from each of this week’s posts about trafficking, and turned them into haunting, beautiful images. Whether you read none, one, or all of this week’s posts – take a look at Corrie’s gallery on Sex Trafficking Awareness as part of her NaNoDrawMo project (and share it!)
Other links I loved this week:
- For anyone who is confused about Net Neutrality, let The Oatmeal make it really, really clear: Dear Senator Ted Cruz, I’m going to explain net neutrality to you. Brilliant, as usual.
-
For anyone wondering how to talk to their teenage boys about Kim Kardashian’s naked pictures, you can’t do better than this from Brian Orme.
-
For anyone with a smidgen of a sense of humor, Mallory Ortberg’s list of Bible Verses where ‘Philistines’ are replaced with ‘Haters’ is awesome. And also, very true of haters.
-
For anyone who has ever been frustrated by the duplicity in Christian dialog, Jonathan Merritt knocked it out of the park here: World Magazine column demonstrates evangelicals’ double standard.
-
For anyone who is confused by (or frustrated by) the use of apostrophes on Christmas Cards, read this hilarious and helpful piece by Kate Brannen: How to Make Your Last Name Plural This Christmas Season. Please, don’t hurt Tiny Tim.
-
For parents who need a precious sense of perspective on how they are spending their time and investing in their kids: How 936 Pennies Will Forever Change Your Life from Eryn Lynum. So inspirational.
I am generally not a fan of closed captioning, but this music video is arguably the funniest I’ve ever come across:
And this little gem of a video has Grover of Sesame Street learning about Autism from a sweet big sister:
That’s all for this week. What caught your eye? What did you write or unearth which deserves to be shared? Leave a comment below!
