Weekly Filet #114: Dark Matters. And more.
This week's top recommendation
A wonderful, boldly personal essay about the power of darkness. About the darkness inside, that is so powerful in destruction. But also powerful in creation. Kyra Maya Philipps recounts how she learnt from pirates and hackers to embrace the dark side and use it as a creative force. If you have time to only read one thing this weekend, make it this one.
