Happy Friday, y’all! I’m sure you have Olympic trivia and other glamorous weekend events to get to, so let’s make this edition quick:

Postscripts: Animal antidepressants. Pie charts made of chocolate. An app to remind you to care about your SO. A guy who, thanks to this eBay scheme, probably no longer has one.

Until Monday! @caitlindewey
