ENJOY! I made this for you!

\-- FLAMES ON THE SIDE OF MY FACE! No, seriously: [Book Riot is suggesting books for people who love ](https://bookriot.com/2015/08/21/one-plus-two-plus-two-plus-one-6-books-people-love-clue/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)[*Clue*](https://bookriot.com/2015/08/21/one-plus-two-plus-two-plus-one-6-books-people-love-clue/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)*.*

\-- This week's (cocktail) recipe is courtesy of Waiting on Martha: [Rummy Spiced Cider](https://waitingonmartha.com/spiced-apple-cider-with-rum/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- [*Cosmo* has partnered with Dispensing Dignity to help homeless and low-income women who cannot afford to buy feminine hygiene products](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/news/a47582/tamponsforall/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I donated, and I hope they raise a lot of money.

\-- This is fascinating, at Atlas Obscura: [From WWII to Syria, How Seed Vaults Weather Wars. ](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/wwii-to-syria-how-seed-vaults-weather-wars?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)I didn't know anything about any of this and it's amazing. I could cut and paste all of it -- people are dying to save seeds; botanists are thwarting Nazis! -- but here's just a taste: "During the Georgian civil unrest of 1993, just before the country's Sukhumi Seed Station was destroyed, an 83-year-old botanist named Alexey Fogel escaped into the Caucasus Mountains with its entire lemon collection." Do yourself a favor and read this.

\-- [This Brie Larson piece on Buzzfeed -- by Anne Helen Peterson -- is well worth your eyeballs.](https://www.buzzfeed.com/annehelenpetersen/brie-larson-is-ready?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#.enzYWb7X5) To wit: "We’ve created such a stigma around ‘strong women are bitches,’ and who wants to be *that*? There are certain laws and codes that are ingrained in us, and we don’t even understand that there is this *option* of no. It’s a word that, over the years, I’ve grown more and more comfortable with — that I’ve really grown to love very much. And it’s an incredible feeling to be put into a situation where you feel like you can’t say no, and then you go, *Oh wait, I have this word I can use: no*. "

\-- Lainey weighs in on [the Taylor Swift/Calvin Harris break-up rumors](https://www.laineygossip.com/Calvin-Harris-threatens-to-sue-over-Taylor-Swift-break-up-rumours/40904?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

\-- Where else but McSweeny's would you find something called Mostly Uninformative Infographics? [They're about the tech sector, and Justin Timberlake is involved.](https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/about-the-tech-sector?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- [This is my favorite lede of the year, courtesy of the AP: ](https://bigstory.ap.org/article/2371c36fd51d41789532bee499f63ddc/zoo-meerkat-expert-sentenced-over-assault-monkey-handler?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)"A former meerkat expert at London Zoo has been ordered to pay compensation to a monkey handler she attacked with a wine glass in a love spat over a llama-keeper."

\-- This was an interesting piece at *The Atlantic.* Let me share the opener with you: "[If a Pulitzer-finalist 34-part series of investigative journalism can vanish from the web, anything can."](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/10/raiders-of-the-lost-web/409210/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) But there's way more to it than that.

\-- Here's [some Cumberbatch for your Friday!](https://www.celebitchy.com/451307/benedict%5Fcumberbatch%5Fa%5Fdior-clad%5Fsophie%5Fat%5Fthe%5Fblack%5Fmass%5Fpremiere%5Fcute/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Celebitchy)

\-- You guys, it's the end of an era. *ANTM* is ending this season. [Buzzfeed ranks its winners. I STRONGLY DISAGREE with a lot of these rankings, but I fully agree with number one. ](https://www.buzzfeed.com/michaelblackmon/the-definitive-ranking-of-americas-next-top-model-winners?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)ALSO, since we're talking about ANTM, we actually saw Jaslene walking in Michael Costello's show this fashion week. I LOVED JASLENE. Actually, I ALSO saw Yoanna, but she was waiting in line next to me for something. She was REALLY tan. You don't need to be so tan, Yoanna.

\--[ I also loved Margaret Lyons's piece on ANTM over at Vulture: ](https://www.vulture.com/2015/10/americas-next-top-model-farewell.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)"Let us not forget Shandi's amazing 'You had *sex*?' phone call, or Jade's unpredictability, or Melrose's perky idiocy. Yaya's *respieto*. Bre's granola bars. When everyone claimed Michelle had a flesh-eating bacterial infection, but she actually just had impetigo. Angelea suing Tyra. Lisa deciding to pee in a diaper. We watched and wondered: Why were some women so against getting haircuts? Why couldn't anyone memorize one damn line from whatever mascara commercial they were pretending to make? *We were all rooting for you!*" (PS: Also, some GFY Trivia: Working on ANTM is where Heather met her husband.)

\-- [Tracee Ellis Ross works out in red lipstick, ](https://intothegloss.com/2015/10/tracee-ellis-ross/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)because she's awesome. (Into The Gloss)

\-- This was a really interesting piece at Eater,[ about Danny Meyer eliminating tipping from all of his restaurants.](https://ny.eater.com/2015/10/14/9517747/danny-meyer-no-tipping-restaurants?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#%5F1)

\-- Over at Jezebel: [In Honor of Angela Lansbury's 90th Birthday, Here Are 90 Photos of Angela Lansbury](https://jezebel.com/in-honor-of-angela-lansburys-90th-birthday-here-are-90-1736953579?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- New York, [did you know you have a speakeasy bookstore? ](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/oct/12/brazenhead-new-york-secret-bookstore?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(The Guardian)

\-- Ooh, [let's all rent one of these private islands! ](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/money/a35363/private-islands-rent-summer-vacation-ideas/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(Esquire)

\-- At This Is Colossal:[ A French Museum Dedicated to Over 100 Hyperrealistic Miniature Film Sets](https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/10/miniature-film-set-museum/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). !!!!!!

\--This is funny, at Pajiba: [Go Home, IMDB. You're Drunk: 17 Times IMDb Algorithm Mischaracterized Your Favorite Stars. ](https://www.pajiba.com/celebrities%5Fare%5Fbetter%5Fthan%5Fyou/17-times-imdb-algorithm-mischaracterized-your-favorite-stars.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)(The fact that Woody Harrelson's isn't AT LEAST *Cheers* is confounding.)

\-- The Toast brings us a vision of *Harry Potter* where [Hermione stops doing anyone's homework for him.](https://the-toast.net/2015/10/13/a-harry-potter-where-hermione-doesnt-do-anyones-homework-for-them/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)
