Weekend Linkage: How Much to Tip Your Mummified Pancake Princess

Friends! How was your week? On Saturday, we took a wine making class as a follow up to the beer making class we took last Saturday, and I spent pretty much all week chugging coffee to stave off naps because I have been trying to wake up earlier and so I'm just not sleeping at all. Ugh. But the links must go on.

Lady Anne Clifford vs. the Patriarchy — Lady Anne's nearly lifelong struggle to reclaim the family inheritance she was duped out of by her D-bag father when he changed his will only 11 days before his death. Fascinating! Or maybe I've just been watching too much Downton Abbey. {The History Blog}

Dogshaming — "I don't give a single $@#$ about anything that is not a used tampon." Ohhhh dogs. {Dogshaming}

Rainbow Street Art — Lovely! Someone come paint a drippy rainbow on my house? {Plenty of Colour}

Stand Up For Your Damn Selves — "Because no one will respect your heart if you don't. No one will protect your emotions if you don't. No one can say "yes" or "no" for you." Right on, Lady. {The Naked Redhead}

How Much to Tip (and to Whom) — In bars and restaurants, I'm good. Anywhere else and I'm never sure. This helps! {Get Rich Slowly}

Mummified Siberian Princess Found Covered in Impressively Preserved Tattoos — Gorgeous. I'd like her artist's number. {The Mary Sue}

That Dreadful Pancake — A young girl has no flower petals to throw at the First Lady, Frances Cleveland. So she chucks a pancake instead. Gets arrested. Naturally.  {Weird Shit}

Artist Beili Liu Embroiders Underneath Hundreds of Suspended Scissors — I get uncomfortable just looking at this. {Colossal}

If Star Wars Was an 80s High School Movie — The one of the Storm Trooper, Vader and Boba Fett is my favorite. {Fashionably Geek}

Octopus Dresser — I don't care if they're trendy now. I want octopi on ALL THE THINGS. {Apartment Therapy}

Rape Fatigue: When There's Just No Anger Left (NSFW) — This nicely summarizes what I've been feeling pretty much all week. Le Ugh. {Jezebel}
