Happy Friday!

From Cassandra: An excellent article about first-generation university students.

From Zazoo: Amazing costumes in the Atacama Desert. 

Also from Zazoo: Jill Sobule talks about New York City as it was in the ‘90s and how it is now. 

From Archie McPhee’s weblog: May the Forced Perspective Be With You! Here are some fantastic examples.

From Margaret Atwood’s Twitter: Watch raccoons face off against Toronto’s new trash bin. (Spoiler: The raccoons are discouraged, but as someone commented, they seem to be taking careful notes and measurements.)

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