Just Good Shit: 10.25.20

Hello and happy Sunday! The big news of the week around here is that my friend Sally and I launched our new podcast, Oh, I Like That. We’re just talking about things we like — areas of interest, life hacks, books and other media, etc. — as well as sharing our thoughts on how to be a person in society (aka talking about the AITA subreddit and the like). The first two episodes are out now on iTunes and Spotify, among other apps. (And if you want/need transcripts, you can find those at the Simplecast link above.) We hope you’ll listen/subscribe/rate and review!

Here’s what else I had going on this week…
On the blog
Writing
I’ve also been working on a bunch of stuff VICE’s holiday package! All of the content is great and 100% worth your time, but Amy Rose Spiegel’s list of ways to make your Thanksgiving weird and fun is a true not-to-be-missed gem.
My shit, elsewhere
I was on the Washington State Indivisible podcast discussing talking reaching apathetic voters, and I talked with my pal Nisha Chittal about what I’m doing to prepare for our impending pandemic winter. (I also recommend subscribing to her newsletter — I think you’ll like it!)
Reading
Dear Fuck-Up: Why Won't My Friend Text Me Back?, Jezebel.
On being a “public figure”, Maybe Baby.
A Journey to the Center of a Spicy Dunkin’ Donut, The Ringer.
I Would Sell My Soul for This Dutch Oven, Food & Wine.
Wearing
I decided to finally give the Baggu face masks ($32 for a set of three) a try and they are so great! We ordered two more packs. I’m also loving these autumnal scrunch socks ($22.90 for a four-pack from Amazon) — they are a great fall vibe.
Have a good Sunday night! 👻
P.S. The IKEA shelves I mentioned last week are finally up on the wall…though it got worse before it got better. More on that another day!
