slack DMing someone a joke in a boring meeting
the concluding image of the free britney documentary (SPOILER) which is this instagram video of her in the bath holding a rose which she then reveals, by dunking it in the water and mashing it into her hand, is made of soap, "it's just soap." i don't know what it means exactly but it forms a beguiling coda.
this barbara kruger oral history (via)
great letter from emily about, among other things, jonathan strange and mr. norrell, which i've tried and failed to get into a couple of times but want because yes i too "am a sucker for historical fiction with supernatural elements. Most people are, I think! What could be more enticing than escaping into the past, but without the boring necessity to hew strictly to facts, and with some of the ickier, less fun elements elided by magic? And it’s long, too, like 800 pages."
slack DMing someone a joke in a boring meeting and watching their camera so you can see them in real time as they read it and how it lands (the ideal reaction is not a true lol, since that would draw attention to the fact that they too are not paying attention to the main thread of the meeting, but instead a sudden break into a smile that's not warranted by the official business).
the last bag of clementines we bought weren't so good but this bag is really good (and there's space in the fridge so they're also cold, which increases their quality by a small but significant amount)
