No shade if you do this, but increasingly it feels like my inbox is one long homework assignment of things I have to watch/read/experience and I find it utterly exhausting. If I subscribe to your shit, I want to hear about you. Your hopes, your dreams, your annoyances. Give me something I can't get anywhere else.
Give me a report from the frontline of your one wild and precious life!!!

I’m challenging myself to share a short recommendation every since day this year on a newsletter called “T-Recs”.This is partially inspired by Caveh Zahedi’s experiments such as “365 Stories I Want To Tell You Before We Both Die”, his bare-all public journal newsletter, and his latest, “365 Days Or However Long It Takes Before It Destroys All My Relationships”. Will this experiment drive me insane? Can I actually make a worthwhile rec every day? Will I make it the whole year? Is this going to reveal too much about me? I’m not sure, but we’ll find out I guess.Being inspired by Caveh seems dangerous. Hopefully it doesn’t ruin my life.

It feels odd recommending a newsletter in a newsletter, but stick with me here. I, like I am sure most of you, have hit newsletter fatigue. Every bozo with a MacBook Air and a liberal arts degree wants you to pay them for their unedited thoughts. But when a professional, like Rachel Tashjian, tackle the medium (no pun intended), it is a thing of beauty. She writes about style, clothing, life, and maximal interiors, like no one else. The best part of the first "natural style" newsletter is that you have to be approved by the creator herself. You can't just sign up, and you can't pay $5 a month; you have to be deemed worthy! Content with a velvet rope. Exclusivity isn't dead. Figure out a way to subscribe and be prepared to be blessed every Sunday.

What happens behind the wheel is, frankly, none of my business. I'd rather spend my time picking songs/sipping coffee/taking in the scene.
Driving is so pedestrian.

I swear to god this shit is too powerful. It doesn’t always work out the way I hoped but the win/loss ratio is definitely in my favour. We are social creatures. We like helping each other. Just do it. Ask me for something if you want. Who knows what I’ll say.
