‘Afwan is a commonly used Arabic phrase meaning “you’re welcome.” Every month, I’ll tell you some of my fave stuff I saw, both IRL and online. I have a feeling you’ll be into it. ‘Afwan!
The power of unions, babyyyy!
Stuff I have enjoyed the last month, in no particular order:
THE WGA FUCKING WON! A nice recap of all the ways they won. Proud to have been out picketing with everyone since May. (SAG-AFTRA is still on strike though, as of publication, so go support!)
If you’re a sucker for makeup the way I am, Sunnies Face now ships worldwide! The Filipino brand has some incredible stuff, including my favorite lipstick-that-sounds-something-NSFW, the Fluffmate.
The Pumpkin Spice Latte will outlive us all. Hell yeah, brother.
Musical Theatre Moment: PBS is one of the best places to find Broadway’s greatest stars singing to you in your living room. No idea how long it’s still up, but Sutton Foster’s turn in Anything Goes is avail on the PBS app. Highly recommend watching if you like boats, fast-talking, and/or tap dancing.
A conversation with Todd Haynes, with this gem of a quote:
The Dude Who Cleans Up Burning Man every year
Something I Hate So Now You Have to See Now, Too: Heinz and corporate everyone runing a perfectly fine meme moment.
And now, this month’s Cosmo the Cat is...
Apple Cosmo! He looks adorable, and yet, he is seething.
Did you love anything specific this month? Tell me in the comments. I love new reasons to procrastinate on everything.
