After a weekend of both depressing and uplifting events, we give you some bits of internet that really sustained us. We hope you find some comfort in them too.
The rising popularity of bullet journaling is such an interesting phenomenon – from BuJo instagram posts to finding ways to infuse your most mundane tasks with meaning, there’s something appealing for anybody looking to organize their life as a new year rolls out.
Yuri!!! on Ice is so great and, surprising nobody, so are the women in it! For a show that focuses so much on male relationships, it’s incredibly impressive that the women are also presented as fully-fledged, interesting characters who insist on their own independence and needs.

If crowdfunding is something you like to do, be sure to keep an eye out for FEMME MAGNIFIQUE – a comics anthology that will tell the stories of women who toppled the status quo, by many of the biggest hitters in the comics biz.
Let’s embrace some of the weirder things that 2016 brought us – namely, let’s embrace My Horse Prince and it’s unending weirdness.

Here is a long, but good read about Ina Garten, and the seemingly magical culinary sway she holds.
As we close our Afternoon Snack, we are emboldened by all the amazing voices that were raised this past weekend, and also by the unending weirdness that 2017 continues to provide. Thanks, y’all, you’re the best.
