they just put out their first print issue and managed to wrangle some very fun writers (from hannah baer to ed park, some deisgn by pippa garner) into writing some very interesting essays and stories. super charmed by the fact that it is printed on a kind of very thick newsprint? a unique tactile experience.
its like eight bucks and they'll ship it to your lovely little home, wherever it may be.
also this is a great question thank you for asking it.

i was buying an artist zine and the bookstore let me pick a free book. I saw this in the basket - I liked the magazine and their layout design but I don't know if they have any new issues. Always on the lookout for cool typography and fun layouts though, as part of my job/obsession with print!

Very hard content, also this is the way I found out about perfectly imperfect. The magazine format kind of like a flip book - this kind of recycled paper mache type material typefaces from Dinamo type, Vegyn interview some elite hipster shit I can’t lie.

I work three jobs and am getting my BA part time. I have hobbies, friends, and an active social appetite. I’m also subject to the 24 hour day. Sometimes that doesn’t really feel doable.
in the middle of winter, you can get an Airbnb in Burlington Vermont for $30 a night. it’s a small room, a bed, a window. Shared kitchen, both spare and kitschy (a notable achievement I feel). though I can’t afford to leave all that often, this is how I do it. I go for 5ish days, I sleep a lot, I eat well enough, I read and write a lot because I feel like I can really unload. it is so quiet, and if you wanted to go somewhere at night you could, but you’ll find you rarely want to. When I got off the train in Burlington it was snowing and the snow stuck to everything, even the asphalt and I just started laughing maniacally in an empty parking lot.

The World Accoridng to Garp by John Irving is one of the most fucked up and disturbing books I’ve ever read. feel like I almost can’t in good conscience recommend it. But you will feel ill!
The bluest eye. Also super fucked up and sad.
OH! Boy snow bird by Helen oheyemi. Unbelievably good, language is stunning, trippy but heartbreaking.
ok that’s the list.

Unsure to do with that bag of carrots sitting in your fridge? This is the coolest and most surprising answer. sure to excite guests, this one probably takes two run throughs with recipe assurance and then can be cooked from memory. it’s sort of impossible to fuck up too bad because at the end you add 2+ cups of parmesan and a quantity of butter that makes higher powers take notice. it makes me feel like a chef, it makes my friends feel fed and happy, it makes fantastic leftovers, and in general brings a haze of good cheer that settles upon the house for 2-3 days minimum.
the photo is not mine. courtesy of nyt cooking, as is the recipe.
