Only exists in print. Picked up a copy from Spoonbill while visiting a friend in NYC bc I wanted to read Meaghan Garveyâs write up on Leonard Cohenâs Death of a Ladies Man. Now Iâm hooked and subscribed. Imagine how mysterious and sexy youâll look reading a newspaper at your local coffee shop.
While weâre here might as well double rec: Meaghan Garveyâs newsletter SCARY COOL SAD GOODBYE.

Spending theđ°guilts me into getting through them. Itâs nice to get something fun in the mail and support writers. I subscribe to The Baffler and The Drift and The New York Review of Books refuses to stop coming to my house. Would love to learn what other folks are subscribing to but I will say that I personally think the New Yorker allows articles to go on for too long.

A subscription I end up keeping because Iâll always end up reading all of their various publications (Vulture, the Cut, Gub Street). My parents kept a subscription and Iâve read it forever. Iâm not local to New York but something about it feels chic, metropolitan. I bought a sweatshirt they had during a subscriber sale almost solely because it felt like something Carrie Bradshaw would have.

Currently have three full pages in my notebook! I guess some might call this a gratitude journal LOL but itâs different when I do it.Â
My brother was telling me about this phenomenon called âtarget fixationâ. Itâs a panic reflex that happens when motorcyclists become fixated on a singular object, obstacle, hazard (e.g. a sharp curve on a winding road) and they will unconsciously steer in the direction of the thing theyâre trying to avoid because their hands follow their gaze which leads to accidents.Â
You will follow your gaze so be aware of where youâre looking. Train yourself to seek out pleasure and appreciation! Understanding where + what you derive pleasure from increases your capacity to enjoy things which in turn makes you a more interesting person (imo). I think itâs just as important self-knowledge as understanding your triggers/trauma. It is a daily willingness to be transformed by small things.
Sorry for lecturing but I want good things for all of you.

Forgive because this where I get a little ~woo woo~ but I think you should only wear necklaces that are imbued with a potent magical vibe⌠amulets only near the heart and throat
you can do whatever you want with earrings/rings but heed my warning about necklaces
