• I love the poufy, goofy GIFs from illustrator/animator Miguel E., like these strolling pears [Instagram]. More of his work can be found on his site. (Thanks, Steve.)

• “In a sense we’re all hooked, the Buddha taught. Not on alcohol but on a desire to be happy—which often means a desire for things to be other than they are.” From Joan Duncan Oliver’s 2004 “Drink and a Man” essay on addiction, in the Buddhist magazine Tricycle.
