Weekly Links: Things to Know for the Week of 8/24/15

Happy Monday! Here’s this week’s round-up of links with everything you need to know for the week ranging from news to inspiration to just plain fun.

  • Rowan Blanchard of Girl Meets World (the modern day sequel to our childhood favorite, Boy Meets World) took the world by storm with an empowering Instagram post on feminism – can you believe she’s only 13?! Even Emma Watson gave her props.
  • This week is Rupert Grint’s birthday! We love you, Ron Weasley!
  • As “I am Cait” nears its season finale the show (following the transformation of Caitlyn Jenner) has touched on issues ranging from trans rights to gay rights, however the one topic the show seems to skillfully avoid discussing are the pending manslaughter charges against Jenner stemming from a car accident she was involved in back in February.
  • Ready to vacation like royalty? France’s Palace of Versailles is officially building a hotel.
  • Paging Leslie Knope – today (August 24th) is national Waffle Day!

Have a great week!
