Shake, Rattle, And Roll Over And Go Back To Bed Already.

Getting a late start this morning, because the Bay Area experienced a 3.4 Berkeley-centered earthquake at 4:42 am this morning. Now, this is only half an hour before I normally wake up, so when I was gently shaken from my slumber, instead of deciding to get my day going, I've puttered about on and off the internet for an hour. Personal non-efficiencies, FTW!

  • If you’re like me and recently shared your first Facebook photo next to your most recent profile photo—mostly because it’s a great excuse to share your youngest, cutest version of yourself with those who only know the hideous shell of a person you've become ;)—you could hypothetically be help a facial recognition algorithm understand aging. Eeek.

  • Today, in ferocious badass Mums: A Pregnant British Politician Delayed The Birth Of Her Baby And Voted On The Brexit Deal In A Wheelchair. That’s right, this MP delayed her c-section in order to vote down Theresa May’s doomed-to-fail Brexit deal.

  • Snap, the parent company of those weird-ass spy camera glasses for teenagers (I think?) is losing their CFO after only eight months.

  • And thank you Friend of the Missive Ashley for sending in this article about the gymnast I mentioned yesterday, Katelyn Ohashi, who only 4 years ago had actually left the sport while training for the Olympics after it “broke her.” What an amazing, honest, vibrant woman.

Darlings, you’re awesome. Be kind to each other.

Xoxo Amy
