My fab little cousin Saba Sams wrote a collection a short stories called “Send Nudes” published by Bloomsbury and it’s about all sorts of exciting/terrifying🚨 things that young people have to deal with today—it’s treacherous terrain out there—negotiating hookups at music festivals, dating apps, grimy pubs, toxic friendships, ambivalent parents, and social pressures. I rarely read fiction but this was witty and tender and I loved it.

Sunburn by Chloe Michelle Howarth is a beautiful book set in the 90s in Ireland. it’s a tender portrayal of first love, growing up and living in a small town.
I wanted more!! I was so sad when it ended :(
Anyone who has read it have any similar recs?

I love becca rothfeld and i love this book - its a collection of essays in excess, desire, surprising sex, bingeing until bursting… it’s a joy to read

by antonia angress, it’s a gorgeous contemporary novel about academia, the messiness of artists trying to survive, and thinks about loneliness openly in a way i haven’t seen before in a novel like this. also, a queer romance plotline :)

I’ll wear them until they are just raggedy scraps of leather hanging off my feet. I usually go for a sturdy boot situation—right now it’s the R.M Williams Craftsman boot—I’ll wear them to traipse through a bog one day and to a wedding the next.

Cleanliness is godliness ! ESP when that cleanliness is given to you by 20,000 year old water from deep inside our earth. I have a whole map saved on my phone of secret and not-so-secret hot springs all over the USA and Europe. Happiest when dunked in hot water (*see spas, above)

Maybe it’s because one time I was lucky enough to live in a house with a sauna, or as a rowdy teenager I spent after-hours on weekends at London’s gay bathhouses, but, truly, still, at least once a week I need to decompress in a spa. When I lived in the Bay Area, I’d go to the Kabuki or the Russian Banya, and sit in silence and sweat. In L.A. I’ll nip down to Koreatown. Even the seedy spas are fab. I just want to exfoliate. Pls send spa tips 🙏🏼
