look this may get me excommunicated from this app for first of all recc’ ing something as obvious as the New Yorker and second of all for saying out loud: I’ve never been to New York. But bless bless bless Hannah Goldfield for somehow still taking me there. Her Tables for Two were lush, passionate, thoughtful words on NYC food. I love reading culinary reviews (and articles on perfume too? But this is a recc for another day 🤷♀️) and none have captured my imagination quite like Hannah’s. This paragraph in particular is sexy as hell

Hannah is a good friend of mine and also my colleague at the New Yorker: she writes the Tables for Two column in the magazine every week. She has such a knack for describing food that everything of hers that I read, I immediately want to start eating!!! Highly recommended.

probably my favourite profile of anyone ever, I reread it at least once every few months. It’s understandable why people have soured on her in the last few years, but she does heroic editorial work at T (which is the only reason I still have a NYT subscription) and this profile is a fun look into her own aesthetic tastes and process (second, related rec: I started follwing her 9pm-12am writing schedule after I got a day job and it works great for me but I’m a night owl)

Annie hamilton’s lip filler review is my personal fave version of this I’ve read (linked), I’m also rereading and re-enjoying Lauren oyler’s longer form piece about the goop cruise from Harper’s last year. (As I type this I realize both articles also are about nonmonogamy, this is not pointed I promise)

Ok I don’t know if I can articulate just how good this recc is but I’ll try. For some reason when the moon is full I can stand and look at it wherever it may be in the sky and just think ahhh everything will be ok. I feel still and calm. I am tiny they are big: a glowing beauteous reassuring orb. I then check on it, consistently peeking out my window through the night to make sure it’s still there. like a parent checking on their bab. I love that it’s there! I love that it affects the oceans. I love that we can see the patterns on its face. If I had to choose between living on the moon or Mars id choose neither because I never not want the chance to see it from afar. I like it as a crescent all the same or when it’s brand new and you see its shadow but god dammit when it’s full it is meaningful and magnificent.
