Happy Friday! It's been quite a week.

 From Cassandra: the Northern Lights were visible all over the UK last night!We are both terribly jealous.

From Rebecca via Cassandra: Everyday sexism.

Related to that last link, a bit: the always-wonderful Anne Helen Petersen writes about the history behind the phenomenon of the "Cool Girl," currently embodied by Jennifer Lawrence.

From a co-worker: Google's newspaper archive is now a lot easier to navigate. Hooray!

Have a spiffy weekend, everyone. See you next week.
