I dated a tearful alcoholic in 2022 which, as a sober person, was like dating the ghost of Christmas past. But I did learn of these beds from him, so I have few regrets. They’re British-made, will destroy most bank accounts, and I still haven’t quite forgiven myself for buying one. I believe the mattress topper cured my back pain, however.

Just one night on a hotel bed is healing. I think all the best sleeps of my life have been in hotel beds. As I thought about it more, I either have a terrible bed (it’s a memory foam) or it has sucked in every single one of my problems over the years and now feels like it.

Was putting this off for a bit bc im dealing with a lot of dentist debt rn (damn me for grinding my teeth!) but found a gold mine of a mattress for under what i was expecting to pay! Less back pain and I dont have to deal with avoiding a divot right in the middle, so fire!

I’m typing from my mattress right now… I have never been more happy with a purchase in my life. This mattress is expensive but it’s the perfect mix of firm and soft. it’s adult aas expensive (1900-4000 range depending). I love investment pieces in my wardrobe so why not an investment piece in my spine health??Another perk is that they have financing options with no interest so I pay like $58 a month for this luxury. I’ll never go back to a mattress from a box ✔️✔️

This album is 7 years old, but I still return to all 1 hour and 39 minutes of it regularly. My friend Gina and I used to listen to it in our shared studio during art school and it made us more unpopular than we already were. The synths are deranged, the lyrics are deceptively banal, and the tempos are confusing. I’m told by more knowledgeable rap fans than I that Lil B walked so that RXKnephew could run. My favourite tracks are “Bad Mf”, “Wasup JoJo” and “Ride (Hold Up)”.

I love all the early 20th century tube posters, commissioned in part to help Londoners overcome their fear of travelling underground and get them to take fewer taxis. For some reason the best ones are by a Frenchman named Jean Dupas, but there is nothing quite like a hand-painted advert of any kind. My favourite of his is from 1933, captioned “establish a picnic and pass the day together”. I like it for the phrase “establish a picnic”, but also because the painting looks nothing like London.

I must’ve made at least 70% of my paintings to this podcast, and ruined maybe 5% of those from laughing so hard my brush slipped. Now that Shane Gillis is un-cancelled and a mainstream success, it is widely considered safe to find him funny. But this is one bandwagon I am proud to have jumped on early, and I stood firm through the controversy. Gillis is my most potent parasocial crush to this day.
