Libraries are so hot forever!! I started going again at the beginning of that year for a book club book (around the same time as receiving a rent increase along w the rest of syd) and ended up lugging home a bunch of Curtis sittenfield’s short stories that I just wouldn’t have thought to look up or buy, and they have just been, perfectly satisfying. Xx library comrade in arms P.S. sam- SLAY.

Libraries are hot girl territory!! And thoughts on Curtis Sittenfeld’s stories? I loved Romantic Comedy but didn’t really vibe with any of her other novels

Honestly- a prompt. “Libraries are hot girl territory.” Unpack. I loved the collection Help Yourself. Some very 2020 morsels.

I loved this convo so much! And so true - food and tablescapes have become very aesthetic these days, but interesting to delve into the why 👀

Thank you and thank you for reading! Yesss like why am I now expected to lay a table like a goddamn fifties housewife if she had access to scalloped tableware? And WHY do I kind of like it?

This was soooooo fun to read! Loved the bit about cooking as a sort of constant control in our adulting life - so true especially when nothing goes well during the day but that goddamn peach tart hits just right at night !!

The right juicy peachy treat can claw back any lost cause day. So glad you liked it ❤️

My cousin got her six-year-old niece a Tamagotchi a while back. That thing works. Surprised at how caring and considerate it made her. The novelty wore off though.
