Quickies: This week in loss, resistance, nostalgia, and more…

Is it Friday already?

• A veteran of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement and leader in Congress today, Representative Elijah Cummings has died at age 68.
• Did you celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the US last Monday? Read why this holiday is an act of resistance to colonization even today.
• My friend from college tagged me in post about a real-life Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse and I don’t really care about the politics of Barbie at the moment because LOOK AT THAT WATER SLIDE! Unfortunately, its limited availability on Airbnb does not line up with my school breaks.
• Tessa Thompson wrapped in a bi pride flag. Chris Hemsworth holding a lesbian pride flag aloft with fans. Brie Larson asking, “How do I top lesbians?” The MCU PROVIDES. Well, at least its actors do.

Here’s a roundup of some cute animals submitted by Muscadine:

• Train is the GOODEST BOY and refuses to be a snitch, so he works in conservation instead!
• Nature is gorgeous, amusing, and terrifying in this year’s entries in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award.
• Ever watch your dog twitch and bark while sleeping as if they are dreaming? Well, an octopus changing color in its sleep may be dreaming as well.
