Happy Monday from the icebox that is Minneapolis. It's emergency-level cold today, but yesterday it was warm enough for snowfall. A couple lazy inches took all day to fall yesterday, blanketing everything in the process. It was the best kind of snow, too.

LINKS
- Life is precious, and this article about unexpected brain surgery is beautiful
- Five families that are changing the world, including our girl Ilhan Omar (first Somali-American Muslim to hold a position in U.S. public office)
- Speaking of our girl Ilhan (I say "our girl" because she holds office in the Minnesota House of Representatives), read what she thinks about #45 calling her country a shithole
- As I get older, my anxiety gets worse (anyone else?), so I'm considering making some of these changes to see if it helps
- Even though I'm aging, my skin still thinks it's 13 - these tips for oily skin care are helpful AF
- Everyone's posting selfies of themselves and their painted doppelganger. If you want in, here's the app you need
- I can't stop listening to this song about Tonya Harding (it's strangely captivating)
- And my favorite article of the week (in like a sad way): Making the cinnamon bun recipe from Mario Batali's sexual misconduct letter of apology
