READING THIS WEEK…
Lindy West doing what she does best, "Because Americans do not like or trust fat people - nor, really, consider them fully human - and neither does Trump."
Fat people, rise up! We could swing this election
Jenna Wortham, taking us all to task, "It’s not just that watching people vie for your attention can feel gross. It’s also that there’s a fine line between appearing savvy online and appearing desperate."
Social Media Got You Down? Be More Like Beyonce
Has this election ramped up your anxiety? Me, too. If you've ever suffered emotional abuse, especially from a man, this
will help explain why your anxiety is getting triggered.
I love female standup comedians and I especially love
.
This piece on
will warm you heart.
This one goes out to all my
who don't feel as guilty as society wants them to for going back to work.
IF I COULD HAVE A PICNIC WITH ANY 3 PEOPLE…
Beyonce
Solange
Tina Knowles

EYES AND EARS…
I've been slowly, over a couple of years now, watching, in order, all 153 episodes of
Gilmore Girls
. I watched the series finale this week and feel like a limb has been torn from my body. I finished reading
this week. Bold claim, but I think it replaces
Bel Canto
as my favorite Ann Patchett book. Two podcasts I recommend listening to:
WTF with Marc Maron
with Katie Couric, and
Magic Lessons
with Glennon Doyle Melton. Also, if you're a
fan and haven't listened to their latest episode (episode 64) yet, do that immediately. They unpack Monday night's debate and it is glorious.
THRIFTING…
First of all, I did not buy this, which I know makes a lot of you sad. I found it at the Rivergate Goodwill for $4.99. I probably should have bought it, and almost went back the next day to see if it was still there, but it was too big and I am positive I would have never figured out how to wear it.
I ENDORSE…
