Afternoon! I’m trying to take a day off and it’s somehow impossible. I’m thankful for the work but damn I want a break. Good problem to have I guess.
Susannah and I recently joined a gym and now I talk about the gym a lot. It’s good to create these routines I guess, but it’s also so obnoxious. Anyway, if you know any good videos that can teach me how to actually use the machines I now pay to use, let me know!
Also, I’m raising money to help the Ali Forney Center help LGBTQ+ homeless youth! If you’re interested in learning more or supporting this great cause, click here and please consider donating.
Let’s get into the recs for this week:
1/ For those interested in the greatest place on earth, check out this Finding Fire Island podcast. I love the concept of sharing stories of joy and fun, not just loss and misery.
2/ Can we get more coverage like this, please!? Republicans are killing Americans seemingly with impunity. Let’s focus our anger and energy on this!
3/ On the Rise of Olipop. Interesting deep dive on the business behind the new soda brand.
That’s all for this week. A truly deranged collection of 3 recs, I know. Thank you as always for reading, for sharing and for supporting this newsletter! Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday.
