The things we want are never what we *actually* want

chatted with Sable Yong about scent-based fascism, embracing outer beauty, analyzing artifice, and her fav Bruce Willis flick for this week's newsletter. her new book of essays Die Hot with a Vengeance is quite good <3

the cute edited by sianne ngai

this is a premature rec bc although i got the ebook for this a while ago, i have only read the essay by ngai herself (titled "the cuteness of the avant garde" and really good, its included in the collection). im looking forward to reading the whole thing!!!! there are sooo many essays spanning many points in time, from 1927 - 2020, all about the cultural perception & impact of cuteness and artists who use cuteness in their practices

being a passenger princess

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.

ask for what you want

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.
