best of the internet this week
the funny, the serious, the necessary
I’m partial to women named Kay (à la my mama and me), but this Kay might be the best of us. In the words of my queen Taylor Swift, “I died dead.”
Selena Gomez is engaged (to music producer Benny Blanco), and I love that for her — but not as much as I love this concept for us:
