It’s Links time! I’m excited about all of these things below and I hope you will be too once you see them.
If you had a long weekend because of Labor Day, I hope the weather held out and you have some great plans. For those in the ever-changing path of Hurricane Dorian, stay safe!

Autumn is my favorite season and I just love Halloween. If I had money to burn, I would purchase the entirety of ModCloth’s Halloween collection.

In April, porn site PornHub launched a campaign to save the bees, now they’re cleaning up the beaches! Note: the link goes to Forbes, so it’s relatively SFW. PornHub also has a SFW landing page for their campaign, though “pornhub” is still in the URL.

There are Star Wars Barbie dolls now! I’m a little iffy on the execution, but the Leia-inspired doll is definitely my favorite.

Unique Vintage has also posted their Halloween collection. At my former job, Halloween was celebrated in the operations center with holiday attire or costumes, desk to desk treat searches, and a potluck lunch. One of my favorite days of the year. Yikes!

I’ve been following this scientist for a few years (since the What is Recipe What is Food days) and she’s got a book coming out that should be very entertaining
I watch that Adele video on a regular basis, too. I own all of Adele’s albums, but don’t consider myself a die hard fan or anything close to it. Nevertheless, that video just makes me happy. I love the one woman who figures it out practically as soon as Adele sings the first note.
