Johanna Hatlem (@johannahatlem on PI.FYI) is a student working towards a degree in French translation. When not at school, she’s probably taking photos of friends, contributing writing to Expat, or working at Applebees. When people point out the unique posting style & language of PI.FYI, it’s early beta users like Johanna that were the blueprint. Lucky for us, Johanna is here to tell us what she’s into.

Loacker Dark Chocolate Wafers

I could write a full ass treatise on these but it would likely lead to minor embarrassment down the line if I actually did write effusively on a wafer thin, but please try them- I am being very specific with my rec here not just any Loacker wafer- specifically the DARK chocolate thins. They come in the dark Brown Package.

OK.RU

I have a love affair with Ok.Ru which to my understanding is Russian Facebook? For some reason if you search the video/photo section ok.ru has every single rare movie you could ever want to watch. It has popular ones too but I honestly have way more luck with the randoms. Two of my favorite movies Day for my Love by Juraj Herz and The Living World by Eugene Green were basically impossible for me to find anywhere but here.

📖

March Bloch- Feudal Society (1939)

Informative but also crazy poetic book on medieval history recommended to me by my BFFS dad who is a medieval historian (thanks) my fav quote-“In Stormy Skies people still saw phantom armies passing by: Armies of the Dead, said the populace; armies of deceitful demons, declared the learned, much less inclined to deny these visions than to find for them a quasi orthodox interpretation.“ So Killer.

Angela Hill (@angelahill22)

I discovered Angela Hill the way I discover a lot of stuff now- via Instagram, she has a great, addicting ass Instagram page where she posts her photos with captions such as “The day of connection” and “The warm heart.” I appreciate avant garde IGs, and more importantly good work. I’ve also never encountered a rare book person I did not love (Angela owns rare books and publishing house “IDEA”)

Looking at photos of Laetita Casta

This was one of my early- and actually remains my least popular rec on PI.FYI. However I could not recommend this enough. Laetita is an extremely warm and rare beauty and looking at images of her is addicting and makes me feel like I am accomplishing something even tho I am doing nothing. Her beauty basically fulfills. She’s also almost always smiling which I love. Everyone should smile more again in photos. She always looks impish and gleaming.
