Have a safe and fun holiday weekend, everyone; see you back here Tuesday the 5th. Meanwhile, check out these photos of extinct and endangered insects, by photographer Leon Biss. (Colossal)
Amusing: the least historically accurate music biopics. (Vulture)
Fascinating: a history of New York’s mysterious and fancy Olympic Tower. (Curbed)
We’ve got an amusing episode of Everything is Fine for you this week, so be sure to check that out, and also! Jenn and I did an AMA this week that you can see here. (Apple Podcasts, TueNight)
Apologies for the absence of posts this week: I had an outpatient procedure Tuesday morning from which I thought I’d bounce right back, but it took a lot more out of me than I anticipated. Meanwhile, I thought I’d do a post on dresses in the hue I still wear more than any other, no matter the season. I just make certain to choose pieces that aren’t too form-fitting, in fabrics that breathe. I have wanted this pretty dress for some time now: it’s nicely feminine, but steers clear of being prissy.
We recorded this episode before Friday’s hideous Supreme Court Roe v Wade decision, but still discuss just how regressive this summer already felt — from the threat of nuclear war/fighting Russia to the abortion rights rollback; from Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s reunion to the overwhelming success of Top Gun2—what decade is it even? Where are we? Does time have meaning? Listen in on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts (something is up with our Stitcher account at the moment but we’re looking into it). Also! Jenn and I recorded a pretty fun mini episode on our Patreon on Friday to cheer ourselves up, and if you want to support the show and enjoy fun extras, you might want to consider signing up for it.
