Lovely Links

Lucky you! New links!
Stumbling around the internet can be fun. And sometimes it can be frustrating as all get out. Here are some links to sites that I find useful, entertaining, or otherwise exciting. As best I could, I grouped them by topic.
Please note, I don’t keep tabs on all these sites. I may not know about a recent post, brilliant, controversial, or otherwise. Some may be for you, some may not. Click at your own risk!
If you have suggestions of things for me to pop in here, please, contact me (michelleoharalevin (at) gmail (dot) com) and let me know!
