Listening:
"Something On Your Mind" by Karen Dalton
"We Don't Deserve Love" by Arcade Fire
"Garvey' s Ghost" by Max Roach
Reading:
"Google’s most-searched “how-to” questions capture all the magic and struggle of being human"
This is more of a "reading through pictures"—but I love these kinds of photo series: "What dinner time looks like across the USA. A seat at the table."
More in the way of visual storytelling: An Ode to Acts of Kindness on the New York City Subway.
And finally, some doodle-y goodness: The Illustrated Interview: Bruce Weber.
“I just love the way they're just kind of embracing in this open romance in the subway as he's reading this book,” Mr. Wagner said. “It almost looks like they're reading it together.” (image via Andre D. Wagner for The New York Times)
Craving:
Consuming with frequency: oatmeal cookies, fried eggs, salad with grilled chicken, crunchy peanut butter, and roasted sweet potatoes.
Drooling over recipes: chai banana bread, milk + honey baklava, small batch vegan brownies, and roasted lemon basil butter salmon with burst tomatoes.
Still on a Greek kick I suppose. (image via acozykitchen)
Wearing:
T-shirts: old American Apparel v-necks and a trusty Everlane pocket tee.
Shorts: cut-offs from high school pants via the Gap and American Eagle. DIY-meets-preppy.
Dresses: grey and black H&M shirt dresses than have stood the test of time.
Shoes: decade-old purple slip-on vans that pair well with my mud-drenched yard.
Good sentiment. (hand drawn type by maddy nye for designlovefest)
Watching:
"Broad City"—because it is always superb. "I Love Dick"—because why not try a feminist cringe-comedy with Kevin Bacon and Kathryn Hahn. "Claws"—because sometimes you have to binge a cheesy show set in Florida with your roommate to cope with flooding and totaled cars.
Treasuring:
Friends helping out friends in the stormy weather.
Subtle moments of animal affection and closeness.
Sleeping in.
