In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention.

"Declared by the United Nations in 2013, this special day recognizes the importance of happiness as 'a fundamental goal' in people's lives around the world," they write. And, yes, there's a theme each year. This year it's "caring and sharing."
- The Guardian has selected images and quotes from Black Box: A Photographic Memoir by Dona Ann McAdams, published by Saint Lucy Books. From nuclear power plants to Aids protests, the photographer has spent half a century capturing her activist community.
