🎧 listened to the normal gossip podcast. this pod takes listeners through a juicy gossip story that's true and anonymous, pausing along the way for reactions from that week's guest. ty to friend of the newsletter (fotn) anna thompson for this delightful rec!

🍿 taste tested bjornqorn popcorn. fotn eleonora saravalle and i dived into 3 flavors: maple, earth (truffle) and classic (nutritional yeast). all were great, with earth coming out on top and maple next in line. classic was also good, but after a bit it started tasting like it was seasoned with chicken bouillon cube dust, lol. have you had? great branding too!

🏊🏻♀️ an ode to public pools 🏊🏻♀️ oh my gosh, do you have free neighborhood pools in your city? i never did in michigan, but here in nyc there's loads of them. i swam laps at john jay pool on the ues this week and it was amazing. it felt like the biggest treat, a huge, perfectly cold, clean pool for anyone and everyone to use?! i nearly teared up! my love for public spaces runs deep and i'm thrilled to report this now includes pools.
💌 and that's the tiny letter! thank you for reading, xo aud
