Oh my gosh I haven't done one of these posts for so long - I really am not the kind of blogger who can get into any type of routine or schedule posts in advance, I seem to write on a whim depending on the mood I am in. Anyway today I feel like sharing some really amazing reads from the interwebs that I have seen this week - its a long weekend so the perfect time for some interesting reading!
I have always been a real housewives tragic. This week Melissa and Joe Gorga released a book based on how they believe they have make their marriage work, "In our marriage, Joe is always the man, doing masculine things. I'm the woman, and I do the female things, including housework". I haven't read the book so can't really comment but here is a post from the Jezebel that states that the book advocates marital rape and a post written by Lauren that looks at some of the messages in the book that some people may be able to relate to.
When I heard that the US Government was shutting down I had no idea what it meant. This article by the Guardian explains it in layman's terms. I also found this article written from the American media's perspective good.
This isn't an article but a link to the Four Corners episode on assisted suicide, 'My Own Choice'. This was one of the most moving pieces of journalism I have ever seen - an honest and raw account of one man's wish to die after living with a debilitating disease for most of his life. It was followed by this article about a man who was killed by medical euthanasia after suffering from unbearable psychological suffering.
This statistical profile on Canberra women based on the last census is really interesting - higher chance of breast cancer, most likely to have a natural birth and other facts.
Love this amazing visual on why coffee and tea is good for you - if red wine was there too I would be set!
Have a great weekend and as always please link me up with anything that has got you thinking this week!

ReplyDeleteI don't read enough thought provoking articles. But great links :)
ReplyDeleteI needed to read that article on the us government as I really didn't understand what was going on.
ReplyDeleteI just read that Jezebel post and my mind is blown. Joe sounds so controlling and she seems to roll over an take it. That is not how a relationship should work. I'm stunned!
