I love when I read or watch something and it truly speaks to me, so much that I refer to it endlessly for weeks to come. Today I want to share a short list of some noteworthy things on the web that I think are brilliant.

1. Hopefully by now Emma Watson’s beautiful speech on feminism has made its way around the internet a handful of times. If you haven’t heard it yet, go take a listen! This topic is close to my heart and I’m glad gender equality is being discussed and defined by so many people around the world.

2. Speaking of gender, I can’t stop thinking about “Everything for Everybody“, an eye opening article by Maxwell Tierman on the gender divide in design.

3. A couple weeks ago, Mike from The Fresh Exchange wrote a great post called “The Grit and the Beauty” in response to negativity toward his and Megan’s blog on a certain hate website. It left an unsettling feeling at the pit of my stomach that is still there. With all of the damage internet hate is known to cause, I’m always surprised that there are still people who rejoice in tearing strangers down. Nothing about it is productive. I’m in awe of how mature Mike’s blog post was. I have a lot of respect for him and Megan. Such cool people.

4. On a lighter note, Marcel the Shell is back with a third Youtube video! Woohoo! Love her.
