Hi! Here’s what I have for you this week…
On the blog
Writing
The Workplace Behavior on 'Selling Sunset' Is Not OK, Right? (Collab with Alison Green of Ask a Manager!)
Reading
The Scramble to Pluck 24 Billion Cherries in Eight Weeks, The New York Times.
The Plan That Could Give Us Our Lives Back, The Atlantic.
The Afflictions of the Comfortable, The American Prospect.
Sweatpants Forever: How the Fashion Industry Collapsed, The New York Times.
We Asked a Gyno About ‘WAP’, Vulture.
Watching & listening to
My friend Sally recommended Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath (on Hulu), which is horrifying but incredibly compelling. I also listened to the “Wayfair and Human Trafficking Statistics” episode of You’re Wrong About, which is a good companion to the NYT cherries story I linked to. And I loved listening to my friends Alisha and Caroline chat in the most recent episode of Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!
Eating
We had Summer Shrimp Scampi With Tomatoes and Corn from NYT Cooking, and really liked it. (We used canned corn, and it was actually great.) I’m also looking forward to turning some summer tomatoes into Nora Ephron’s cold tomato sauce soon. Also, two grocery purchases/treats that I highly recommend: Pillsbury cinnamon rolls (the little five-count is nice) and frozen mozzarella sticks.
Have a good Sunday! 🦞
