Morning!
Today is the first day of fall. Do what you need to do to mentally/physically cope with that information. Honestly, from the last newsletter to about this week, I have not touched Substack. Feeling a bit rusty with my words, but after a few weekly posts, I am sure I will feel confident again. Today is a listicle!
Setting the tone of today’s newsletter with the new release from Weyes Blood. She’s going on tour and I want to get tickets but I don’t know where I will be during that time.
Homosexual Agenda
Brenda’s Business with Peter Do over at 032c. A fan of two things: fashion business and Peter Do.
My new favourite thing to do is reading articles about what people are doing on social media. #beveragegirlies #butterboard It validates my decision to not be on social media.
For $796 you can purchase 79 items on Shein. But why? The People’s Republic of Shein at The New York Times.
Starbucks’s Relentless Union-Busting Campaign Won’t Stop Without Consumer Pressure at Jacobin. It’s not even good coffee.
What’s the Point of Starbucks Now? at Eater. I will keep shitting on Starbucks. // For a time, Starbucks customers could feel assured that they were patronizing a good business, one that called its employees “partners” in a nod to the spirit of community. But now that consumers are aware of the union-busting and pure, profit-driven capitalism that lies beneath the surface, Starbucks no longer feels even remotely like the progressive, edgy choice.
Post-covid must watch:
Everybody Wants a Raise at the New York Times at Intelligencer. After reading it, I am sure the writers at New York Magazine also want a raise. I want a raise too.
Karen O Has Found a More Joyful Kind of Wildness at The New Yorker. An interview with Jia Tolentino. So… you know it’s good! In anticipation of their next album, a bunch more articles at NYT and Vulture. Both of which I did not read because one I think will be enough.
The Stressed Stylist on memes and the ugly truth of fashion styling at 1 Granary. That one time in my mid-20s, in the big city and I wanted to be a stylist.
Exclusive Toronto screening of In The Dark by Bronson Allen. I don’t know where you can watch it, but if you are interested, you can contact him here. Come for the horror, stay for my name in the credits!
Maegan, poop scooper to Henry, has a Substack:
Selling the OC is everything I wanted from a reality show. Million dollar listings, hot generic looking realtors, a cockroach, petty drama that is so absurd it shouldn’t even be a plot line and Brittany Snow by copious mentions from Tyler Stanaland and cast.
What kind of cultural critic would I be if I didn’t watch Bodies Bodies Bodies? A solid 6.5 but that is debatable with the people I went to see it with who rated the film 1-2 points higher.
Is Lee Pace hot? Perry = yes. Daniel = no. Internet = so many thot pieces.
Charli XCX made a song for BBB: Hot Girl. And the whole time I thought it was M.I.A.. Reminiscent of albums Arular/Maya.
Bjork has a new song which lead me to discovering that Bjork’s daughter is fronting Miu Miu’s fall 22 jewellery campaign. How do gen z say, nepo baby?
AD has the biggest boner for Nate and Jeremiah as they filmed not once, not twice but for the third time. The kitchen is meticulous and overall the home is a winner once you have a Mario Bellini sofa.
I loved every minute of this profile piece of Jonathan Anderson and it’s one of those pieces that I wish didn’t end. The Ambition of Jonathan Anderson at The Cut by Cathy Horyn.
I designed and developed this form validation project: Henry’s Mail. Am I a developer yet? Do you need web development in your life?? Hire me!
Next week is a photo diary! Here’s a teaser:
