LINKS I LIKED
I gave up on Game of Thrones way before this final season (though I confess to reading spoilers this year to find out “what happened” to Arya and watching some of the final season), and this piece really encapsulates what made me opt out of this cultural milestone: "What I missed — what I already knew, and forced myself to forget— was that this conversation originated within the fandom, not within the writers’ room, and certainly not within the mind of George R. R. Martin. No matter what women told themselves, Game of Thrones was never our story.”
Possibly related: Basically, if you’re in a movie/television show and not a straight white man, your time is probably limited.
This was fascinating: Is Mark Twain to blame for the cult of adolescence in the United States?

This is a great year to plan a trip to Amsterdam if you’re a Rembrandt fan.
There’s a new adaptation of Rebecca coming out! (I feel like this book is just made for a movie version, but I’ve not yet seen a great one. I live in hope!)
Smell, like color, can vary significantly from person to person.
