A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Setting The Mood

Join us parasocially to chat about (pizza) rats, rain clogs, and romance. Join us IRL in NYC at The Meteor’s Work Shift this Thursday, October 12, to talk about women’s allyship, with Aminatou Sow and Dee Poku—free to RSVP!

erica’s things

• Waiting for this Mary Beth Barone bit to become the next “how often do you think about the Roman Empire?”
   

• Kvelling: When’s the last time you saw a logo as good as this one?! No one dare give it the Kate’s Butter update.
   

• Searching this newsletter for every twist on “tofu” and “curry” and “stew” to deduce whether I’ve included this deeply satisfying recipe before…and, if not, what's wrong with me?
   

• Discovering that I’ve peaked, or at least my name has.
   

• Having an ideal tweet–to–Grubstreet Diet experience. No notes, as they say

claire’s things

• Playing all of Vagabon’s new album on repeat but especially this track.
   

• Proclaiming the peak of fancy playing cards.
   

• Urging Chicagoans not to miss out on my funniest friend doing her funniest bits. (As she puts it, CW: puns.)
   

• Relishing the thrill of living in the era of luxury yogurt.
