the five best things we read this week
Time to delve into the five best pieces of news, entertainment and longform writing that we found this week.
Because who can pick just one?
We were seriously digging everything we stumbled across this week – covering hockey, beer and emojis.
And more! So grab your Thursday drink of choice and explore.
- These proposed new emojis are designed to reflect that women are professionals, too. We’re into it. Washington Post
- How Retta (of Parks and Recreation) fame became a hockey fan. It’s laugh-out-loud funny. Lenny Letter.
- Okay, this isn’t a read. But Red Sox player David Ortiz met a tiny superfan this week and the result was kind of adorable.
- Heard about Ellevest? It’s the latest investment platform. But this new digital company is slightly different… it’s designed entirely for women. Fortune.
- And, um, did you see that Budweiser wants to be referred to solely as “America” this summer? Thoughts? Eater.
