Five for Friday 114

Happy Friday!

While I can’t believe the first quarter of 2019 is gone, I am bound and determined to make the next eight months even more productive and valuable! It is incredible to look back on how many lessons I’ve learned in just the past four months, which I’ll be sharing with you all.

Last weekend’s Avengers Endgame is breaking all the records, as predicted. This is the most comprehensive review I’ve seen (containing major spoilers; also, why haven’t you seen this movie?!), and I’ll be perusing it more over the weekend.

This weekends’ links are:

An outlining of the one-and-only Stevie Nicks’ impressive career. Nicks looks back on her decades of competing and succeeding in a man’s world, “To be taken seriously a woman has to walk softly and carry a big stick.” I’m looking forward to reading the entire piece.

This startling and surprising piece looking at inflammation in a new way; as the root of chronic disease, rather than a symptom.

Quartz’s coverage on those choosing to opt out of online algorithms. Navigating, sometimes literally, an increasingly digital world presents its challenges and bizarre turns.

Such as, the age of the influencer; how the “Instagram aesthetic” is changing, coupled with the New Yorker’s History of the Influencer.

Finally, in honor of Cinco de Mayo this weekend, two stories on comida Mexicana en los Estados Unidos.

Have a beautiful weekend!
