Happy Labor Day to all laborers! Bread & Roses for all! Never forget that people died so that we can have weekends! I, somehow, did not learn this until college because the Texas Public Education system did not really want the working class learning that you can fight for yourself and others.
But I am a Labor Day baby. I love labor! I love the working classes!
On to the links:
If you live in Philadelphia, I cannot recommend THE YARD at South Bowl enough. I went for my birthday last week and we hit balls in the cages and drank special drinks, and I ate a foot-long Chicago dog. It ruled!
Oh, you thought just because last week four of the bullets were about Dolly Parton that none would be this week? You absolute buffoon. You absolute dumbass. READ THIS.
If I were a cat person, I would purchase these stacking cat glasses faster than I’ve purchased anything ever.
I love this reported story talking to booksellers about “the end of reading.” It’s much easier to yell into the abyss that no one reads anymore than to contend with the reality that tons of people (far more than 10 years ago) are buying books and want to be reading.
I bought this Nike x Skims collab sports bra and I do recommend it to all boob havers.
I found this playlist on TikTok that makes me feel like a 90s mom having a secret cigarette in the car!
This pan of the new Lucas Museum in Los Angeles is a great argument about what a museum should actually be for.
“California: Perhaps you’ve heard of it? It is the edge of the continent, it is the apocalypse state, and it is the subject of many songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, though fewer than you might think.”
I think these Walmart trashcans are cunty. I would buy them but i already have too many trashcans.
I’m sad the old museum might die.
I have always loved the Beyoncé BDay album, so the re-release is extremely my shit. Finally, the children will learn “Freakum Dress”
Last time I went to IKEA (where i promptly shattered my windshield being an idiot) I bought this cute little extension guy. I love it. It looks like it’s for a baby.
I cannot explain how much I hate my loser senator who does not do anything. I would literally rather be represented by anyone else at this point. Fuck this guy!
“Whatever their intent, olfactory artists and dabblers alike must tread with precision. While the visceral nature of smell opens up wider possibilities for artistic expression, it also brings new risks. Curate your scents just right, and visitors can experience a whole new emotional reaction to the art they are seeing. Get it wrong, though, and you might send them running for the door.”
FISH LOCK!!!!!
