A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Longing To Be Gallery Girls
You know what today is? It’s Cyber...the day our first gift guide podcast episode goes live. We know what to give your stepmom who’s always cold, your new significant other, your sister-in-law in Paris (how fashionable of you to have a sister-in-law in Paris!). And if you just can’t wait for next week’s follow-up, last year’s installments are waiting for you here and here—just, uh, ignore the experience ideas, ok?
erica’s things
Knocking out headaches—from PMS, from clenching my jaw all night—with this stuff. Listen, I’m also surprised an herb-and-mineral combo platter works as well as it does.
Nurturing a cactus crush: Cereus forbesii 'spiralis', I hereby crown you the Michael B. Jordan of plants.
Offering up validation for anyone whose hobbies include “searching Zillow in nine different zip codes” and/or “googling every article about the TV show I’m watching.”
Grooving to Whitney’s mom.
Purchasing this for a five-year-old niece; contemplating pairing it with a sub to Elle Decor (kidding, kidding).
claire’s things
Taking in a doc about the indie record store Other Music that is bound to resonate with anyone who loves small businesses and the deeply human aspects of them. I mean: They determined which sections were most popular based on how worn the floors were. 😭
Whipping out my credit card real fast to subscribe to the new pub by one of my favorite—and objectively one of the funniest—pop-culture writers. (It’s been a strong week for Substacks.)
Longing especially hard for IRL galleries and museums after viewing images of Tau Lewis’s latest show.
Feeling totally charmed by Psychic Outlaw’s take on the quilted-clothing trend: Give them your old blanket, and they’ll turn it into a coat—for you or your pet.
Using this recipe as a starting point for an addictive (vegan!) soup I’ve made twice in the last two weeks. I subbed fresh garlic, ginger, and onion for the spices and broth for the water, and I suspect it’s malleable in many more ways besides.
