yendi1. Hayley Campbell (who is simply one of the funniest people writing today) has a great (and decidedly not SFW, even by Campbell standards) piece on visiting a sex toy factory in Bath. The section on returns alone is worth reading this piece for (but not while drinking coffee).
2. Kim Boekbinder interviews Clayton Cubitt on photography, money, and his pay-to-ask InterroClayton.
3. Since I've seen people raise the issue again in recent days, here's Alyssa Rosenberg's takedown of Stephen Jimenez's postmortem attack on Matthew Shephard.
4. Putting the Q in LGBTQ – in Arkansas is a fascinating (if too short) read about genderqueer and agender teens and twentysomethings in the south.
5. Finally, a classic piece -- Jay Epstein's still-relevant 1981 piece Have You Ever Tried to Sell a Diamond, on arguably the most fraudulent and corrupt industry out there.
