A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Shelling Out
Did we cry before we talked to this week’s podcast guest? Yes. Did we cry while talking to this week’s podcast guest? Also yes. Listen, the photographer Gillian Laub’s latest project—about family and America’s political climate—really is so moving that you need to hear about it directly from her. Also: If you’ve been thinking about giving Secret Menu a shot, we’re donating September new-member monies to the International Refugee Assistance Project, which rallies law students and lawyers to support legal and human rights for refugees and displaced persons.
erica’s things
Feeling less overwhelmed by all the Big Fall Books.
Signing up for the NYC/Hudson Valley CSA of my dreams: oysters! Sourced from woman-owned and -managed farms, even.
Dipping into retinol and tag-teaming with this balm to keep things soothed.
Prescribing this movie for when you just need to feel something. Imperfect! Satisfying! I teared up! (A theme this week?)
Imagining the many, many applications of a crossword-puzzle maker (beyond the perfect anniversary one I received, even).
claire’s things
Thinking that of course the people behind Kewpie mayo know how to make an outstanding salad dressing.
Clicking on a headline that’s of great interest to me.
Ascribing magic powers to a, um, spray bottle—one that has majorly improved my hair routine on no-wash days.
Flagging that there’s still time left to get in on this extremely lovely Yom Kippur tradition, Jewish or not!
Feeling compelled to spread the word whenever I come across a perfect chambray—one so good that my dad asked if I could get one for him too??
