Hi!
Thanks for opening this email / reading this post.
The links doctors don’t want you to see:
Hannah Gadsby, an Australian comedian, curated a Picasso exhibit for the Brooklyn Museum, in conjunction with the Elizabeth Sackler Center for Feminist Art. If that is not one of the funnier sentences you’ve read today, this piece will help you understand why each element of this stunt is shallow, corny and hypocritical.
Speaking of rainbow-washing, here is a handy list of the worst-offending corporations who are very happy to take your money and sashay away to spend it on the extermination gay people.
A fascinating longread on the new app, Swimly, another attempt at privatizing human existence, and swimming pool culture in general. And a reminder to not sleep on community pools - they’re a very good way to be outside without spending money and meet your neighbors.
Someone will find this Twitter thread hundreds of years from now and it will be like the Rosetta Stone for cringe.
Proof we are living in a surveillance state - a video of me from this morning that I did not consent to.
Tunes to start the week with:
Grunge cutie Bully has a new album out that is very fun and noisy. And if you haven’t listened to the KAYTRAMINÉ collab between Kaytrananda and Aminé, this will be your summer 2023 album. Super slick and danceable, they’ve made some unimpeachable vibes together.
