Everything about this article is great. And if you have any nieces or young daughters in your life, I think you'll especially understand why this is so important. (Thanks to Christina Brinco for sharing it!)
Dog Splits
I firmly believe that this image has the potential to bring complete peace to this world as we know it. Makes me beam every time I see it.
Canadian Stamps Rising
If you're into correspondence and/or you buy stamps every so often, then you'll want to grab some stamps before Monday (March 31) when their prices increase by an UNGODLY AMOUNT.
If you buy singular stamps, they're rising from 63 cents to ONE DOLLAR. I'm not really sure why rioting hasn't begun because of this. More people need to be upset. I completely understand it, but... we're all just taking this in silence? Outrageous. Go stock up NOW.
(I know that they'll only cost 85 cents each when you buy them in a booklet, but still. These increases are beyond insanity. Shame on you, Canada Post. Shame, shame.)
The Smile Test
I'm kind of really into these videos. Such good tips!

You know why you’re going to watch this? ‘Cause it’s less than a minute. (I get you. I am you.)
Positive Anger Podcast
If you have any thoughts or insights about the Alec Baldwin stuff that's happened this week, then definitely listen. And if you're into this man at all (which you should be), then definitely DEFINITELY listen. So happy he's started podcasting.
Amtrak To Offer Free Rides To Writers
Amtrak will soon begin offering "writers’ residencies" to writers, essentially. What does that mean? Basically it'll be free, roundtrip rides aboard Amtrak trains dedicated solely for the purpose of writing.
Obviously this seems entirely insane and great, so I'll believe it when it actually happens. You can read more of the details about it here.
Shake - Legal App for Freelancers
“Think back to the last time you signed a legal agreement. Did it stress you out? Did it make you feel uncomfortable? Did it cost you a lot of money? If you’re like us, you probably answered YES to most of those questions. It’s a shame and it doesn’t need to be this way.
Our mission is to make the law accessible, understandable and affordable for consumers and small businesses. We want to empower our users to share ideas, goods, and services without the fear of being stiffed for a freelance gig or putting their business at risk.”
This is basically an app that freelancers have been waiting EONS for. It allows you to create, sign and send legally binding documents (with no lawyers involved) in a matter of minutes. Unfortunately it's only available for iPhones at the moment, but the second it isn't? I'll let you know. You can check it out here.
Cop Gets High Video
Listen, I know this is old as hell (Jesus, it's seven years old) but it still ranks high amongst the best things that I've seen on YouTube. Always makes me laugh. (I realize this is very mom-like of me to post something so old, but man. I can't help it, I'm sorry. I have to JUST incase you're one of the weirdos who've never seen it.)
B.J. Novak's Book Trailer
1. The idea of having a book trailer? Ugh, love it. Didn't even know that was a thing.
2. For some reason, I got it in my head that this was going to be a children's book and didn't give it any more thought. So now that I understand that it's a proper book, I can't wait to read the hell out of it. A review on that will be coming soon.
