It’s Friday’s online finds: Cozy up and dig in.

• The paper artist, who also goes by Paperboyo, travels all over the world and creates playful images combining his hand-cut, black paper silhouettes with buildings, nature and iconic landmarks. (Honestly WTF)
• Somewhat related, how lovely are these silhouettes: Anne Shirley + Gilbert Blythe or Kevin and Winnie (Sealhouette)
• At almost 14 years in, I mostly practice what he preaches (A Whole Lotta Nothing)
• “My name is Vivian. I am six years old. Why do you not make girl army men?” … “It’s happening.” The Green Army Women figurines will now be available by Christmas 2020 in four different military poses. (NPR)
• Why I LOVE September (this was obviously not written by me but I am channeling the positivity) (In My Own Style)
• The Most Common Smoothie Problems (& How to Solve Them) (Food52)
• I just ordered my 2020 Stendig! (Stendig)

• But just eat a bit less meat (NYT)
• Now I want to work at Trader Joe’s. This brings back memories of my favourite job ever, Ben & Jerry’s. (Instagram)

• Modern Love, The trailer. (Vulture)

This had me laughing. Enjoy

It’s the weekend! May it be glorious.
