Weekly Roundup #82: Organization and White Claw

Last week was an exhausting week despite it being so short. Anyone else feel me on that? Major highlight: I saw my favorite band last Thursday and they were everything I could have hoped they would be.

Reading

Women Talking, Miriam Toews. Based off a true story, which is horrifying. I wish I liked this book more, but I was just kind of bored. Although, I will say, I sped through it so…🤷🏼‍♀️

Gilt, Katherine Longshore. I love reading about the Tudors, even when it’s probably grossly inaccurate.

17 New Books to Watch For in September, The New York Times. THE HANDMAID’S TALE SEQUEL!!! That’s all I need.

Lizzo Talks About Her Hot Girl Summer And Her White Girl Fans, Nylon. I may be white AF, but I’m here for ALL her “Black shit.” Also, I need to see “Hustlers.”

Want Stronger Friendships? Pull Out Your Notepad, NPR. I would, legitimately, totally do this. Hi, hello, I am definitely a Virgo rising.

Lana Del Rey: Norman Fucking Rockwell! Pitchfork. It’s so good though. Beautiful and dark, haunting and cocky, lyrical and taunting. I’ll have this on repeat—thank you, next.

White Claw says it's 'working around the clock' to increase production of the wildly popular hard seltzer amid complaints of shortages across the US, Business Insider. The INSANITY! But, honestly? Thank god, our local liquor store is still good on the Claw 😂

The Millennial Sex Recession Is Bullsh*t, Cosmopolitan. Just like 80% of the things they say about millennials. 🙄 It’s possible we’re having sex less often, HOWEVER, it’s better sex, so I think we’re fine with it 😉

Two Sisters and the Terrorist Who Came Between Them, Elle. They grew up right near my college town, which is kind of crazy considering it’s in Arkansas… Anyway. I don’t think I believe Sam, what do y’all think?

Part II: Two Sisters and the Terrorist Who Came Between Them, Elle. This whole story is just crazy.

FKA twigs’ New Album Magdalene Features Nicolas Jaar, Future, More, Pitchfork. I 👏🏼 cannot 👏🏼 wait!!

Zach Galifianakis Takes His Talk Show on the Road in ‘Between Two Ferns: The Movie’ Trailer, Variety. Ok, I want to see this.

The 'Dusty Stick' Is the Best Slack Emoji That Nobody Uses, Vice. But…I don’t…who…what the fuck is that.

GNI Investigates: What Your Phone's Home Screen Organization Says About You, Girls’ Night In. I organize mine by category, except for the first screen where I keep the apps I use the most, generally.. I used to hate the folders, but now I love them and don’t know how I survived without them. How do you organize your home screen?

Jonas Brothers surprise fan undergoing chemotherapy with hospital visit, Today. UGH. Needed this reminder that there are good, kind people in this world.

I Was 24 & Had Just Scored My Dream Job In Fashion. Then An Accident In The Hamptons Changed Everything. Refinery29. Well, I know what skin care line I’m trying next. This was an incredibly inspiring story. I’ve thought about what I would do if this type of thing happened to me and…it’s not anywhere close to this.

Listening

Norman Fucking Rockwell! Lana Del Ray. I think her voice will forever remind me of a road trip with a scarf tied around your hair in a red Cadillac holding your arms up to the sun.

Watching

13 Reasons Why, Netflix. We blew through season two and…I was disappointed with the ending. SPOILER ALERT: This is kind of a silly thing, but Zach totally would have gotten involuntary manslaughter because Bryce would have been able to swim if not for Zach breaking his arm and leg…just saying. Also, Ani is the worst. Full stop.

Loving

Of Monsters and Men. I saw them live last Thursday for the first time in YEARS and it was everything I’d dreamed of. Listen to them, go see them, buy their LPs, support this amazing group!
