It’s raining plastic: Microscopic fibers fall from the sky in Rocky Mountains, on The Guardian—“The findings shocked Wetherbee, who had been collecting the samples in order to study nitrogen pollution.”
In Defense of Amy, the Best March Sister, on Jezebel—“Amy is the only little women to embrace the fact that she has desires untethered to the service of others. Save Amy, no one in the March house enjoys herself without first examining the fact that she shouldn’t.”
