Hi!

Thanks for opening this email / reading this post.

me, embracing a new positive outlook

Back to regularly scheduled programming! Some cute little tabs to start the week:

• The queen of the internet this week is Moo Deng, a beautiful and angry baby hippo, whose name means “bouncy pork.” We are not worthy!

• I feel like we all had that kid in our grade school class who was mean like a fucking rattlesnake - even your teacher was a little scared. Well, that kid grew up and now he’s in New Hamphsire suing children for being hungry.

• I used to be the NFL’s number one hater, but I’ve softened into a mush-brained trad wife, and now I am officially “cool” with my husband watching it (on Sundays only). And, since welcoming Roger Goodell into my home, I’ve stumbled across this enjoyable, football-related content - cutie TikToks and Drew Magary’s legendary, “Why Your Team Sucks.”

• AI will not render writers useless, but Donald Trump might. He continues doing the most deranged thing possible, things beyond my own imagination, like teaming up with the man behind Date Hotter Girls LLC to create a new form of cryptocurrency. I’m sorry, but I will never be this funny!

Tunes to start the week with:

The second the sun starts setting a little earlier, I yearn for moody music. To usher in a new season, I’ve made a fresh playlist to foster autumnal vibes (Spotify or Apple Music). It’s a grungier/hornier feel than my OG pumpkin spice playlist (here, if you just can’t get enough), with lots of brand new tracks peppered amongst the old faves.
