Emchap's Shit from the Internet 2/22/17 🍠
So like on the one hand work is still ON FIRE but on the other hand I saw 50 Shades Darker this weekend and it was magical???? The leads learned to behave like people who might want to touch genitals. I am so proud 4 them.
Shit to read
I'm currently reading Cat Marnell's How to Murder Your Life, because I used to love the shit out of her writing at xoJane. She seems exhausting but is a great writer and it's a very compelling, weird book.
17 Tiny Changes That Make Life More Interesting is like way un-woo and very do-able? I like it a heckalot as someone who is routine driven like a slightly neurotic dog.
Like I'm not definitely trying to price out how long I could live off my money if I said fuck it and moved to Mexico but I'm not not.
This is a very comprehensive history of the thong, and it's very interesting, and I highly recommend it.
This article on how activist groups fail at scale is from the second wave and is still VERY GOOD and HELLA RELEVANT. EXPLICIT POWER STRUCTURES 5 EVA.
Shit to eat
Get two slices of bread, some mayo, some mozzarella, some cheddar, and egg, some frozen spinach, and a firm desire to fuck up your arteries.
Put some oil in a non-stick pan and a sandwich's worth of spinach in there. I don't know how much that is, you do you.
Once the spinach is un-frozen, toss in some mozzarella, mix it up.
Put mayo in a thin layer on one side of each piece of bread.
Scoop all of that spinach mix up on a spatula, and in its place put down a slice of bread, mayo side down.
Spinach on top of that.
Layer of cheddar on top of that.
Bread on top of that, mayo side up.
After a minute or so, flip it.
While the second side is cooking, carefully cut a square out of the top layer of bread. In its place, crack an egg.
Flip the sandwich back over.
Wait a minute or two.
DONE.
Shit to listen to
I am listening to "High by the Beach" a TOTALLY HEALTHY AMOUNT, thank you.
Shit to buy
I got down this weird rabbit hole of "do no harm, take no shit" merch this week after I realized that that's the strategy that allows you to win iterative games of the prisoner's dilemma, like you do. I want this sweatshirt/t-shirt. Also available as an enamel pin. Or a sticker.
Or just painted on some wood.
This is a store that lets you put custom sequins and letters on shirts and sweaters and I love it with my ENTIRE-ASS HEART. I love the concept of a "too witches" bomber jacket, or an SSO witch sweatshirt, or just "living my best life" in gold sequins. I am the person snackcore markets to, man.
