Morning morning morning! I hope your Friday is going well!
TGIF indeed...here are five bits of interesting facts for your Friday.
ONE.
Okay, this irritated me slightly because it's another 'fact' sheet about 'Africa' (conveniently forgetting the fact that Africa is 52 countries, and that they are quite different and not one, amorphous, exotic mass), but because it highlights a few interesting and different points, I will let it pass. The fact that female entrepreneurship is this highest in the world? Hell yea! That's what we're talking about. Oppressed? Ain't nobody got time for that...
TWO.
Doghouse Diaries. Love it.
THREE.
Triple J did an awesome story on my experience of Ramadan on the Rigs. Props to Sarah and the team for letting me share this! Have a listen HERE (it starts at around 21 min in :D)
FOUR.
I adore this idea - quotes in comics. Zen Pencils, it's called.
This is the first comic I read, and it struck a chord it did! A fan even made a short video of it.
FIVE.
Long read for the day: Slow Ideas, on the New Yorker.
In our era of electronic communications, we’ve come to expect that important innovations will spread quickly. Plenty do: think of in-vitro fertilization, genomics, and communications technologies themselves. But there’s an equally long list of vital innovations that have failed to catch on. The puzzle is why.
