10 entirely random thoughts for you this Friday…

Hades, Carmy, and the Black Dog

1. Two words for you: Gold man. (Also, Will Forte for president.)

2. Sorry Hot Girl Summer, but Frazzled English Woman Summer has arrived and I am here for it.

3. Speaking of, apparently, I now live in actual Hades and I’m being stalked by Con Ed.

4. Shannon Mann nailed Substack.

5. Literally me, ISO iced Americano and all.

6. Which of you nerds wants to read Great Black Hope along with me and New York’s Summer Book Club?

7. The Bear is back. If there isn’t more Carmy + Claire this season, I’m going to have to hurt someone.

8. Related, I am just waiting for another Bear soundtrack to absolutely tear me apart. Counting Crows! REM! Replacements! It’s a veritable Gen X girl’s dream.

9. This Modern Love podcast on location sharing really got me. And, obviously, it made me think of the world’s greatest song on this topic. Follow me for more wellness tips, but I find yelling “Old habits die screaming” at the top of your lungs to be mooooooost theraputic.

10. I mean, if we’re going there, this hands-down made my week. ✔️
