Be The Escaped Llama You Wish To See In The World.

Sweethearts! It’s nearly the weekend, we’re wrapping up the first week in June, and the UK continues to have the greatest Trump protest signs (warning: some witty signs hella NSFW.) TO THE INTERNET!

  • Dear Farhad Manjoo at the New York Times: I also want to live in Elizabeth Warren’s America, as you point out, “a country in which adults discuss serious ideas seriously.”

  • Stop what you’re doing right now and read Drew Olanoff’s thoughts on the community SNAFU YouTube finds itself in.

  • Whilst browsing the endless selection of homewares online, have you ever asked yourself which criteria go into a product being dubbed the “choice” of “Amazon”? Don’t worry, WIRED has your back.

  • I cannot stop laughing at Jia Tolentino’s take on the the history of “Wife” as a uniquely ‘Aughts comedy concept. Key quote: “The online wife is unbiddable, like an escaped llama or a trickster god… The wife, as you read this, is gently rolling off a cliff.”

  • And finally, “granny panties” have made a comeback, and I am HERE for breaking down the artificial comfort barrier between men and women’s underthings. VIVE LE HIGH WAISTS!

You’re awesome, see ya tomorrow for Reading List. Be kind to each other.

Xoxo Amy
