In lieu of an essay this week (don’t worry, I have one coming later this week as a part of my new Culture Slant column), I thought I’d do a roundup of all the media I’ve consumed over the last few months because I’ve consumed A LOT. So if you’re looking for some new books, movies, or music, I’ve got you covered.

Stay tuned for the first column of Culture Slant, coming later this week (I realize I said it was coming last week, but then life got in the way).
✨ Introducing Culture Slant ✨
You may have noticed more in-depth essays that explore broader cultural topics, such as being a villager and slop culture.
So, I decided to create a new home for them.
Culture Slant will be a weekly column published on Fridays that explores broader cultural trends across marketing, media, commerce, technology, and more.
The first issue drops in your inbox this Friday.

💡 What I’m Loving: I finished my five year line a day journal that I started July 1, 2020. It’s been so much fun to look back at how much my life has changed in the past five years. I just ordered a new one that I’m starting this week for the next 5 years.

💭 Weekly Musing:
Destiny is often a subtle coincidence. The things most meant for us are often hidden in plain sight. The ones that make us stop and say—well, isn’t it funny how that worked out.
Thank you 💕
