-- Loved this from Ali Barthwell, at The Cut: Why a Black Bachelorette Is a Big Deal
-- This piece in the Los Angeles Times made me cry: Rigoberto González grew up in a family of immigrant farmworkers. Now he writes award-winning books. It is incredibly well worth your time.
-- Also at the LA Times, this is an interesting look at the journey from California to Broadway often taken by new theatrical productions.
-- Lainey's take on Sad Tom Hiddleston makes me giggle.
-- This headline at Racked ALSO made me giggle: A Hot Potter Made Tiny Pots at Rosie Assoulin. The models wore them as earrings. For real.
-- Speaking of tiny things, at House Beautiful: These Miniature Dollhouses Are So Cute We Can Hardly Stand It
-- At Lainey, Constance Wu has been cast in Crazy Rich Asians, and she will be great in that part.
-- This is an amazing piece at The Awl about an apparently terrible West Elm sofa, in which a West Elm employee says you can only get 1-3 years of use out of a sofa. !!!!!!!!!!!! That is just bullshit. (FWIW, my Crate and Barrel sofa needs recovering desperately but is going strong after ten years.)
-- This is a really, really good interview with Kelly Cutrone -- about the future of fashion, Fashion Week, and PR -- at Glossy.

-- Over at Pajiba, this is an amazing headline: We Received a Press Release for Kid-Friendly Ecstasy for Children and I Need to Talk About It
-- Via Celebitchy, apparently Ben Affleck is over being Batman, which is great because I'm over Ben Affleck as Batman.
