Wednesday Roundup - 4.20.16

You can read a little bit about Harrison's secret performance with Monty Python in NYC here.
Wait, that's not what everyone in Washington is celebrating today? I won't be using this week's roundup to bring you links to the best places to buy weed in Washington, but I will give you some great links to help you pass a Wednesday afternoon.
Vivien O'Malley is a ceramic artist from Ireland. Her Urchins series is one of my favorites.

These photos by Shawn Clover- composites of San Francisco in 2010 and after the 1906 earthquake- are fascinating.
Illustrator Sally Nixon is my new best friend- she just doesn't know it yet. I love that she draws women in the midst of doing things they do every day. One of my favorites.
This article in The Atlantic about middle-class debt was fascinating. Neal Gabler discusses his own financial struggles and the research that shows nearly 50% of Americans could not cover a $400 emergency out of pocket.
On a lighter note, this New Yorker humor piece, All the Excuses That Didn't Work to Get Me Out of Jury Duty. My favorite: "The Brooklyn courthouse is really ugly and not conductive to #JuryDuty Instagrams."
Hope the rest of your week if fabulous.
