A Thing or Two We’re Doing Besides Pooling our Resources
If you’re here because you like our recs, then you’re going to want to hit play on our podcast’s latest Thingies installment, in which we crown our best-in-category picks, from a knife sharpener to a liquid bandage (useful pairing?). If you want even more, Secret Menu is for you, and this month’s new-member money goes to Participatory Defense Movement NOLA, which gives justice-involved citizens the legal tools they need for court cases. (More on the couple behind the org in this epic doc.)
erica’s things
Cackling at this fashion trend-spotting.
Never having to wonder what a takoyaki ball would taste like as a corn puff because the answer is delicious.
Finding that I can, in fact, be charmed by a novelty pool float.
Taking advantage of Spotify’s (weirdly buried) audiobooks, starting with this one.
Pondering whether matching sandals are over now. These! These!
claire’s things
Relishing a fancy room spray that would make an especially good housewarming gift.
Grasping at straws—er, starches—that might diminish the amount of sand that enters my home post-beach.
...Especially considering Ita is making seaside jaunts seem particularly appealing right now.
Wondering why I’ve never attempted homemade ice-cream cake before last weekend. A (very easy) hit!
Clocking a major milestone: a muggy afternoon in the backyard with zero (zero!!) bug bites. Thermacell, take a bow.
