Got a Girl Crush On: Lizzo

If you’ve been following GAGC for a min, then you’re no stranger to our adoration of Minneapolis-based rapper, Lizzo. 

“Between her feminism, fresh-to-death talent, and body positivity (if you haven’t seen the Style Like U video in which she movingly strips down, Google it immediately), it’s no surprise she was tapped by Sleater-Kinney to open the East Coast leg of their hotly anticipated tour. But we’re pretty sure this is just the beginning of her global domination.”  –Lisa Butterworth (Issue 4, Got a Girl Crush)

Ian: I don’t believe in luck. I do believe we’ve known each other since forever, though.

Sofi: Really?

Ian: Yeah. You know how? When the big bang happened, all the atoms in the universe, they were all smashed together into one little dot that exploded outward. So my atoms and your atoms were certainly together then, and, who knows, probably smashed together several times in the last 13.7 billion years. So my atoms have known your atoms and they’ve always known your atoms. My atoms have always loved your atoms.

Meet the man who survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki 

70 years ago today, 29-year-old Tsutomu Yamaguchi was visiting Hiroshima on business and had been walking to his office. In a 2010 interview with ABC News Australia, Yamaguchi spoke of the horror he felt that day. He described that it appeared as if the “sun had fallen.“ Yamaguchi was lucky, though he suffered severe burns, he was able to escape the city. But fate would strike twice.
