1. DIVA: NYMag counted out the most un-diva moments in Beyonce’s new HBO documentary.
2. GUNS: This sprawling ridiculous, incredible, challenging essay from the Center for Investigative Reporting follows “the shooter” who killed Osama Bin Laden as he reenters civilian life.
3. JOURNALISM: Did you know the Antarctica has a newspaper? With an editor and everything! Read an interview with him, Peter Rejcek, in The Hairpin.
4. CONNIE: My love for Connie Britton will never die. Apparently, I’m not alone in my devotion, at least, according to this NYTimes profile on the former Mrs. Taylor.
5. TECH: Stacey Mulcahy’s excellent letter has made the rounds this week, but if you missed it, read it now. Her 8-year-old niece wants to be a game-designer, so she wrote a letter to “future women in tech.”
6. JANE: This is a fun, short investigation into the life of Jane Austen. It breaks my heart how many of her letters were burned and destroyed. Sometimes I really do feel grateful for the longevity of internet communications.

From Stacey’s letter:
Mostly, I hope you never have to hear someone say “good for you”
I hope I can work on this one, Does that excuse me? I really am championing these young girls.
What I meant to say about the excuse is “I am old.” And, My ‘good for yous come from a heartfelt attgirl! But, I’ll do better. Your work’s excellence should speak for itself.
