A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Color-Scheming

Jul 20

We have thoughts on gas stoves and single-blade razors. We have feelings about The Baby-Sitters Club and dating. And you can hear them all on our podcast—where, by the way, we’re offering free ads to Black-owned businesses. Hit us up at podcast@athingortwohq.com to get in on that!

erica’s things

Caring more deeply about the NBA’s (new) barbers than the NBA itself. OOPS.
Gasping at a collab I didn’t know the world needed: Flik Flak x Hodinkee.
Basking in the cautious optimism, weirdness, and love of this book, which set the tone for my Saturday morning.
Leaning hard on sun hats, including this newb and this old favorite.
Making late-night caramel sauce for ice cream in a real shrug-emoji move that I don’t regret for a second.

Texting every designer I know upon the discovery of a a wondrous, web-based version of The Dictionary of Color Combinations, an A+ resource that I’d only known (and loved) in book form.
Dousing myself in a DEET-free bug spray that really (actually!!) does the trick.
Remembering all of the angst, confusion, and longing of the high- school years, filtered through the lens of a non-binary Black teen in Felix Ever After.
Gobbling up a frozen, GF pizza that is way better than either of those adjectives would imply. (Since you’re obviously going to ask: Yes, it’s on par with Domino’s GF.)
Appreciating this explanation of the Gen Z aesthetic that is making me feel a little less out of touch.
