Summer jobs for college students.
Free holiday letter.
Good morning everyone.
On Valentine’s Day, I launched a very beta version of what could be a Feed Me dating tool. Over 100 Feed Me readers posted classifieds, and tonight they’ll get their responses. As I told Max Tani from Semafor last night, I’m really enjoying building projects that are able to exist apart from this newsletter (like Feed Me’s job board, or events), but live in the same world of Feed Me. If you have any ideas on how I can be optimizing this whole Feed Me studio, shoot me an email.
Have a story you want me to look into this week? Reply to this email or text the anonymous Feed Me Tip Line: (646) 494-3916
As summer rapidly approaches, and we continue to discuss the job market in various Feed Me forums, I decided it would be a good day to roundup some summer internship and job opportunities for my younger readers (or their parents). Reminder that college students get free Feed Me subscriptions with a .edu email address by filling out this form.

George W. Bush launched a newsletter on Substack. Maybe he’ll write about his bad paintings. If this is your first time seeing that little silver checkmark next to someone’s name on Substack, that is a mysterious verified badge.
Emily Oberg is opening a Sporty and Rich HQ across the street from West Hollywood’s Pacific Design Center. The 5,200 square-foot space will be a combined store and cafe, with a fitness studio (no reformers), and Oberg’s office. I enjoyed her conversation with the How Long Gone guys about reverse-engineering Jamba Juice recipes to be healthier.
After reading The New Yorker’s nightmarish surrogate story last week in the middle of the Epstein files being released and Savannah Guthrie’s mom being kidnapped, I felt like I was living in hell. I’ve been working on a surrogate-related horror story since I took a few days off at the beginning of the year, and the week before that, I wrote in the Feed Me 2026 prediction chat that I thought we’d be reading a lot more about the dark side of surrogacy this year. A reader sent me a screener of The True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick, directed by Pete Ohs (who also directed Erupcja, a new movie starring Charli XCX). Have you ever had the experience when the universe puts a piece of media in front of you that captures all of your interests —almost like a manifestation that there are other people (or authors or journalists or filmmakers) walking the planet who have the same alchemy of interests as you? That’s what this movie felt like. My self-care dark fairy tale reference library includes Safe (which happens to be playing at Metrograph this week), Regeneration at Mukti by Julia Elliott, and both versions of Goodnight Mommy. The True Beauty of Being Bitten by a Tick is now on that list.
Rory Satran wrote about side parts for The New York Times today. But I really want to talk about side bangs (or as Natalie Shine @ Big Silly coined them, Bitchy Little Side Bangs). I went to dinner with Gabrielle Scelzo, Natalie, and our friend Lila (who is also in the video below) on Friday, and I woke up on Saturday slightly hungover and tempted to chop my hair off.
I want to graze with cows in Maine this summer.
