Really worthwhile watch. I don’t know that I’ve ever encountered a piece of media that represents Muslim Millenials in such a focused and beautiful way. The writing/dialogue/characters are brilliant, and not to mention the episodes are short. It’s similar in a lot of ways to shows like Shrill, Atlanta, and Master of None, but manages to still stand out as its own, unique, fresh thing.

Limited series with Emma Stone and Jonah Hill. Weird sci-fi with great characters. Feel like it’s a good one for when you’re sick cause you don’t need to focus heavily cause it’s mostly vibes and good characters and great set and costume design rather than like needing to grab every plot point. it’s just a solidly great show and I wanna do a rewatch soon which is what probably prompted this!

- silly slapstick but also witty humor at first
- but eventually bittersweet and wholesomeÂ
- biting social commentary sprinkled around
I’m not sure why this show isn’t lauded more, it’s an easy comfort watch for me. On Netflix.

okay okay i have many recs depending on what u want to watch next.
thriller/short series: mindhunter on netflix. INSANEEEE, perfectly shot and well acted. real interviews and lines from those interviews were used in this show, and it’s just an utterly fascinating look into the FBI and the term “serial killer” in the 70s.
growing up/comedy: GIRLS. look, i know lena dunham is a controversial figure, but she managed to create something that perfect encapsulates what it’s like to be going through your 20’s. sad, hysterical, and real.
just insane: the rehearsal. if you haven’t yet acquainted yourself with the world of nathan fielder: please do so. it will change your life. cringe comedy on a whole other level, and this recent season of the rehearsal is possibly the best season of television i have ever seen.
light/mystery/drama: big little lies. a classic, layered with drama, scandals, and surprisingly good writing, cinematography, and plot twists.

Art is cool but art is also expensive. If you’re like me and have a growing interest in it, but don’t quite have the funds to pursue said interest, check this out. Absolut partners with contemporary artists and photographers to bring more affordable limited-run prints to people who aren’t necessarily wealthy collectors. It’s still an investment, but much more manageable. I got a Shantell Martin print recently and to thank me, she sent a free, signed art book along with it.

Finding the right throw blanket is a gabillion times harder than you might expect. And if you’re like me and have over-indexed on neutral/muted colors while designing your space, they’re likely the last chance you’re going to get to add a much-needed pop of color before things start to look like a weird, dystopian, minimalist sci-fi movie (that actually sounds kind of sick now that I type it out though). Luckily, I found this bright mustard blanket with a simple but cool design on it to liven up the place. it also comes in terracotta and blue if that’s your thing.

I celebrated a birthday last month and my girlfriend gifted me a subscription to Shaker & Spoon, which is basically like a Birchbox type of deal that sends you a bunch of cocktail ingredients/recipes for the month and all you need to do is pick up the liquor that the drinks are based around. This month was tequila and the first drink I tried was, to put it eloquently, fire flames. Not only did the recipe include some spicy poblano-agave syrup, but it also had celery soda in it??? Long story short, celery soda slaps.
