Emily, through your newsletter I connected with Jack Raines who came by today for a visit and chat. Great example of fostering connections and community.
The salary suggestion is the least absurd of the discussion around the newsletter curator. Their idea that a daily newsletter with content like "eradicating malarial mosquitoes in Cape Verde" might grow an audience at scale is the first problem
“When you start scheduling makeouts and walking to class, your life becomes a series of tasks instead of this boundless thing with endless opportunities for spontaneity.”
i’ve been thinking about this since ending up on WhimsyTikTok -- maximizing magic in daily life, like leaving out watercolors so you’ll actually paint. but it kind of defeats the purpose to me? make joy more accessible, do whatever you need, but there’s something so rigid and impersonal about this level of detail, like extreme calorie counting for the brain.
i'm working on a project about this, mixed with the history of credit card debt in the U.S. and handwriting. it's coming together.
First body builders, now ice cream… I hate the commodification of breast milk. Real or not. “So latch on fast.” Wooof. Also you’ll never convince me there’s an ethical way of taking colostrum from cows. These brands need to chill out.
ACK is such an interesting and dramatic microcosm: all the usual issues (inequality, housing, social and eco erosion, constant car crashes) compressed into a really small (and shrinking!) space.
Feed me field trip to assess consumer preference. No lines at Prada or Dior and Tory Burch took over a large space that used to belong to Ann Taylor. Teens are asking for free shopping bags from Marni for photos.
tastes like vanilla....Spotted two teenage boys licking it up who exclaimed they would happily eat it again. Is that the awareness we should be spreading? lol...

Jack took regular milk in his latte!
We love Jack <3
I feel like the Frida team keeps milking this 😂 I hate that it’s just a gimmick. Meanwhile there’s a whole market of people dropping $$$ for actual breast milk https://www.vice.com/en/article/moms-are-making-thousands-selling-breast-milk-to-bodybuilders/
there’s an upcoming snack brand using colostrum so these offerings are only going to get more insane 😂

Loving the inclusion of your music favs recently
I volunteer as campaign manager for Good Girl: SOTS.
I will also campaign for this
this ice cream is a rare no for me. i don’t do gimmicks!!
When I saw the ad all I thought about was the actual breast milk ice cream in London back in 2011, I visited a year after and London was still abuzz about it https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-12615353.amp
Breast milk ice cream that just tastes like breast milk and doesn't have any of the nutrients seems to...miss the point
Is this ice cream gonna turn into some Fellini film about wanting to return to the womb
did you see Barbarian? reminded me of that movie immediately
Omg duh this is full Barbarian
im not sure if i should be impressed or angry at the 1400 person waitlist for corner store
angry.... come on
Yea 😪. I’ll be across the street with a SunLife billion dollar smoothie

Every time I see a new Skims campaign I think about this piece by Ana Andjelic: https://andjelicaaa.substack.com/p/case-study-skims
I thought the fandom around skims was simmering until I saw they were the only one with a line outside of their storefront at Woodbury
NO WAY

never clicked on a title so fast
so what's your answer
well given it’s not made of Homo sapiens milk (could you imagine a ranch of moms pumping?), I ship it
