Hello everyone!
Another week gone, means another Feel Good Friday for you, you lucky kids.
Here’s a few things, quite a few, in fact several things that have been making us laugh, think and feel empowered this week: Ursula K Le Guin! Toni Morrison! Jessica Williams! Roxane Gay!
And obviously animal videos.
