Friday Links (marriage, riots, and weird dinosaurs edition)

It's Friday! A grueling week of work is very nearly over! It's the first Friday in May!!! And my husband and I have an awesome date night planned for tonight. Then tomorrow I and a bunch of my nerdiest friends are going to go see the new Avengers' movie! Wicked, right?
