A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Collecting Fast-Food Bags

Hope you’re ready for pressing convos about gummy candy and night phones, a new-to-us, sleep-changing concept straight from our Geneva channel. (Thanks for bringing us that intel, Kara.)

erica’s things

• Becoming a burger person, exclusively for these burgers.
   

• Feeling like a fool recommending Annie Ernaux, but if you don’t know where to start, try here. The number of pages I dog-earred/photographed/read aloud, in the back half especially!
   

• Putting a podcast release date on my calendar—a personal milestone.
   

• Doing corduroy for summer.
   

• Experiencing a first: lamps that make me crave McDonald’s fries (dipped in honey, thanks).

claire’s things

• Nominating these nominations for…best high-concept podcast bit. (Don’t miss parts two and three.)
  

• Marveling at how impossibly well this works.
   

• Guffawing at a T-shirt.
   

• Maintaining this newsletter’s grand tradition of alerting you to important postage stamp developments.
